‘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.

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.

Loose garment

The multitude, by which on this occasion Jesus was invested was (Mark XIV 43) ‘a

great multitude: headed by the traitor Judas, they /it/ came from the constituted

authorities - ‘from the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders’ - but no one

of those functionaries made a part of it.

Seeing the stripling in this attire and in this company, some of the striplings or

‘young men’ who formed part of the multitude regarded him as it should seem cloathing

and the wearer together as a sort of prize: without incurring any such guilt as that

of inhospitality, and perhaps without need of using violence /violence/ the design

formed by them in of which the person of the wearer was the object might in one sense

be not unnaturally of the same complexion as that formed by the inhabitants of the

devoted city upon the two mysterious beings who were at once men and angels.

in order to partake of the sport or fun[?] as the phrase is,

whatever it might prove had joined themselves to the multitude.

If so so far as concerned /Be this as it may/ the garment it seems to have succeeded

so far as regarded the wearer, not: ‘he left the linen cloth and fled from them

naked.’ those among whom the part of the prize would have been to be shared were it

may well be imagined not of the class of those among whom a customer might have been

expected to be found.

Mark XIV. 52

[Greek]

And there followed him says the authoritative translation: And thus were following

him would have been a more literal and unambiguous one: the Greek being in the

imperfect tense. By the indefinite there followed room is left

for the supposition that the stripling had not been originally of the number of

Jesus’s followers, but had joined him not till after the rest had fled.

Jesus no Ascetic

For the case in which that same pleasure looks for its source to a person of the same sex, as little in the discourse or deportment of Jesus as represented by any of his four biographers is any mark of reprobation to be found.

In one of the evangelists /those biographers /biographies// and but one (Mark xiv. 51) is an incident obscurely stated which by some commentators has been considered as referable to this head.

At the indication of the treacherous Apostle Judas, by whom they were accompanied, the /police of Jerusalem/ [...?] comitatus commissioned by the constituted authorities viz. ‘the chief priests and the scribes and the elders’ Mark xiv (v.43) had just come up with him. At the meeting, Judas having explained to the official persons that the person they accused was the person they were in quest of, salutes him with a kiss.

Note

In England unless in case of near relationship and the parties one or both of them of immature age, between two person both of the male sex, an endearment of this sort, and in public, would scarcely be considered as consistent with decency. But neither /any more/ in the continent of Europe at present, nor as far as appears, in any nation of antiquity does any idea of [...?] or impropriety appear to attach /be attached/ to it. From this circumstance therefore /at least when taken by itself/ no inference can be drawn.

But immediately thereupon comes an incident of strange appearance. Not being to force, Jesus is taken prisoner:— Marginal note: Mark xiv. 26. And they laid their hands on him and took him.fuller2013-11-17T19:20:00 a wound given by somebody to one of the police officers has no further consequence. As to his followers, of whom it does not appear that in this occasion the number was considerable all forsook him (Mark xiv. 50) and fled.
