51 A young man, wearing nothing but a linen garment, was following Jesus. When they seized him, 52 he fled naked, leaving his garment behind.
So I have never noticed these verses before and for some reason they caught my eye. It seems so random. So I have spent the last 20min researching this and you cannot believe the volumes of material written on this without a consistent conclusion.
Cameo by Mark himself, angel, symbolism related to death because the linen was a burial garment. I really don't know what to make of it or why my eyes were drawn to it today. I'm rambling waiting to see if something that I have read resonates with me. The word used to describe the garment apparently shows up 3-4 times in Mark, so what I don't know.
So nothing is coming to me, but I don't believe the words are just randomly placed. God has a reason, maybe for someone who has studied more in depth than me? Sharing a connecting thread back to Adam and Eve, or a symbol of death and resurrection.
no conclusions today from me.
knut
so I lied. I have noticed this verse before, I picked it in January 2015 too. At least I' consistent. ha
