In Japan Japanese boys make [...?] public places

‘And there followed him (it is said immediately after) Mark xiv. 51, 52 ‘a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body, and the young man laid hold on him. And he left the linen cloth and fled from them naked.’

By some Commentators the young man thus described is understood to have been a courtezan of the male sex. /For/ The costume thus ascribed to him /seems altogether singular/ there seems considerable singularity: and if the interpretation put upon it as above be not the right one it seems difficult to say what other can be, or /in what other view/ for what purpose an incident /for which if not this no other character were be found/ which bears no other character and which has not connection with any other, could have found a biographer to speak of it. Short as it is almost every thing in it and about it is obscure.

Second Greek word plural of the first. is the appellative by which they are spoken of.

Defence at any rate, after all the possible men had fled, contributing to defence at any rate could not have been his purpose.

One youth still follows, him clad loosely in linen cloth the young men laying hold of him, he leaves the cloth in their hands and flees naked.

    John XXI. 1. to 7. After these things

    After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself.

    There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the Sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples.

    Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.

    But when the morning was now come Jesus stood on the shore; but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.

    Then Jesus saith unto them, Children have yes any meat? They answered him No.

    And he saith unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.

    Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord he girt his fishers coat unto him (for he was naked) and did cast himself into the sea.

    John XXI. 20 to 24. Then Peter turning about seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper; and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee?

    [Greek to be supplied]

    Peter seeing him saith to Jesus Lord, and what shall this man do?

    Jesus saith unto him, if I will that he tarry till I come? what is that to thee? follow thou me.

    Then went this saying abroad amongst the brethren that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die: but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what {is that} to thee?

    This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.

    Mark XIV. 46. ‘And they’ (Judas with his multitude) had their hands on him and took him. 47. And one of them that stood by, drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.’ v. 50. ‘And they all forsook him and fled. v. 51. And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body, and the young man laid hold on him. 52. And he left the linen cloth and fled from him naked.’

Yet John the Evangelist takes no notice of his having been of the committee of three, taken apart from the other Apostles.

    Note 5 (a)

    What is [...?] is—of the idea given of this incident by the translation the authoritative English translation—is with reference to the original very inadequate not to say inaccurate. From the translation /the natural/ conclusion is that in the first place /upon the [...?] made of his person, as above/ /his being taken not [...?]/ all the followers /persons/ who were in his company forsook him and fled, that therefore being in respect of his own /all those his/ followers left him. Tho surrounded by his [...?] the officers of the police, the young man in question joined him, becoming /was for the first time/ his follower, and in the [...?] sense his sole follower.

    But in the original the aspect of the incident is altogether different. It was at the very time that all the others of his followers had were forsaking or had forsaken him, that this one person, this youth this Abdiel, this young man continued to follow him.

    Like Abdiel in Milton.

    Among the faithless, faithful only he.

    This one person—[greek text]

    On this trying and critical occasion among his followers, besides the betrayer Judas were at least those of his apostles, Peter, James and John, Peter the first of all in authority and confidence. These fled and deserted him with the rest. With him after they had deserted him remained this ‘one’ young man, whose name is not mentioned.

    12 (a) or 5 (a)

    Per translation, the youth joined him not till his followers had fled. Per Greek, he was with him from the first, and stuck by him like Abdiel after they had fled: viz Peter, James and John, &c.
