Mark 14:52

52 But the cloth he was wearing came off, and he 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 all of Jesus' followers left him and ran away.

51 A young man, wearing only a linen cloth, was following Jesus, and the people also grabbed him.

52 But the cloth he was wearing came off, and he ran away naked.

53 The people who arrested Jesus led him to the house of the high priest, where all the leading priests, the older Jewish leaders, and the teachers of the law were gathered.

54 Peter followed far behind and entered the courtyard of the high priest's house. There he sat with the guards, warming himself by the fire.
