Appendixes To The Companion Bible

Notes on Mark 14:51, 52.
This Is From The Companion Bible.
Mark 14:51, 52.
51.  °And there °followed Him °a certain young man, having a °linen cloth °cast °about his °naked body ; and °the young men laid hold on him:
52.  And he °left °the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.

Notes from verse 51:

°And there followed, etc. This is a Divine supplement, peculiar to Mark's Gospel.

°followed = was following.
°a certain young man = one particular young man. That this might be Lazarus, is probable: (1) because the Lord had returned to Bethany each preceding night of that week; (2) because Lazarus would be looking out; (3) because of the linen robe, betokening his social position; (4) and especially because he was wanted: "The chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus to death" (John 12:10). None of the apostles was arrested. Peter (though suspected) and another (John 18:15) were unmolested; (5) his name not given here by Divine guidance, because Lazarus was probably still alive, and therefore in danger.
°linen cloth. Greek sindon = a linen cloak (so called probably from Indos = Indian).
°cast about = having clothed [himself]; as in Matthew 6:29 (arrayed), 31; 25:36, 38, 43. Mark 16:5. Luke 12:27; 23:11. John 19:2. Acts 12:8.
°about = upon. Greek epi Appendix 104. ix. 1.
°naked. Without waiting to put on all his robes.
°the young men: that is to say, the soldiers; as in 2 Samuel 2:14. Genesis 14:24.

   Notes from verse 52:

°left, etc. = leaving behind ... fled.

°the linen cloth = the sindon.

Watchman News hosts several archives of Bible studies such as these by the Watchmen Bible Study Group. Although we are not affiliated with this or numerous others using the term Watchman in their names, we believe it important keep the full content intact for research and analysis for Bible students of future generations. We keep it available as good members of the body of Christ, for Christian unity. We do so on a non-profit basis. As the original owner's site went offline years ago, no one has paid to keep it online but us. We pray and hope such ministries are more careful about having successors to carry on their works in the future. Although we do not agree on every point of doctrine, we still believe it very important to not edit any of the original contents. Our own statements of beliefs are found at www.CelticOrthodoxy.com, and for example in the book "7th Day Sabbath in the Orthodox Church" etc.
