A young man, wearing nothing but a linen garment, was following Jesus. When they seized him — the young man in the linen garment is one of Mark's most puzzling details — found only in Mark. He may be the eyewitness source behind Mark's Gospel (often identified as John Mark himself, or a wealthy young man from the Jerusalem area whose house may have been the upper room). The linen garment (sindōn) is the same word as the burial cloth in 15:46.
