Mar 14:51-52 | MHM | STEP | v. 51-52 : A young man, possibly a curious bystander, followed Jesus. When the soldiers tried to grab him, he escaped by leaving his linen cloth behind and running away naked (Mark 14:51-52 ). This strange detail shows how chaotic and dangerous the situation was. It also reminds us that following Jesus out of curiosity, instead of faith and commitment, is not enough for times of real testing (John 18:8 ).
