Mark 14:52

52 but he pulled free of the linen cloth and ran away naked.

Mark 14:52 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 14:52

And he left the linen cloth
"In their hands", so the Persic version renders it; just as Joseph left his garment in the hands of his mistress, ( Genesis 39:12 ) ;

and fled from them naked;
to the house from whence he came. The Syriac, Arabic, Persic, and Ethiopic versions, leave out the words "from them".

Mark 14:52 In-Context

50 Then everyone deserted Him and fled.

51 One young man who had been following Jesus was wearing a linen cloth around his body. They caught hold of him,

52 but he pulled free of the linen cloth and ran away naked.

53 They led Jesus away to the high priest, and all the chief priests, elders, and scribes assembled.

54 Peter followed Him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. And he sat with the officers and warmed himself by the fire.
