Bible Commentary

Mark 14:52

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

But he left the linen cloth, and fled naked. This somewhat ignominious flight is characteristic of what we know of St. Mark. It shows how great was the panic in reference to Christ, and how great was the hatred of the Jews against him, that they endeavored to seize a young man who was merely following with him.

It shows also how readily our Lord's enemies would have seized his own disciples if they had not taken refuge in flight.
