Mark 14:50 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 14:50

And they all forsook him and fled.
] That is, his disciples, as the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Arabic, Persic, and Ethiopic versions read; and who seem to have transcribed it from Matthew, and lest it should be thought, that the multitude whom Christ addressed, were intended.

Mark 14:50 In-Context

48 And Jesus answered, and said to them, As to a thief ye have gone out with swords and staves, to take me?
49 Day by day I was among you, and taught in the temple [Day by day I was at you, teaching in the temple], and ye held not me; but that the scriptures be fulfilled.
50 Then all his disciples forsook him, and fled.
51 But a young man [Soothly some young man], clothed with linen cloth on the bare, followed him; and they held him.
52 And he left the linen clothing, and flew naked away from them. [And the linen cloth forsaken, he naked fled away from them.]
