Mark 14:52

Context
14:52 but he ran off naked, 1  leaving his linen cloth behind.

Mark 10:50

Context
10:50 He threw off his cloak, jumped up, and came to Jesus.

1 sn The statement he ran off naked is probably a reference to Mark himself, traditionally assumed to be the author of this Gospel. Why he was wearing only an outer garment and not the customary tunic as well is not mentioned. W. L. Lane, Mark (NICNT), 527-28, says that Mark probably mentioned this episode so as to make it clear that “all fled, leaving Jesus alone in the custody of the police.”
