A scripture I was reading the other day caught my eye. Mark 14: 51 & 52 is the end of the moment when Jesus was betrayed and all of his followers left him. I had never noticed and now wonder why it was included the phrase,

" 51A young man, wearing nothing but a linen garment, was following Jesus. When they seized him, 52he fled naked, leaving his garment behind.".

What a strange word picture to have added at this point. What is the significance? Is it allegorical? I have always believed the God has a purpose for ever word in the Bible.

Perhaps tomorrow, I'll add another puzzling scripture to ponder...
