Mark 14:51
   We don’t really know for sure who this young man was. However, we have a really good guess. He was likely John Mark. This is likely for two reasons. First, John Mark is thought to be the author of the Gospel of Mark. Because this account of the naked man fleeing is only found in Mark, it seems probable that it was Mark himself. Secondly, John Mark would have quite possibly been with Jesus in the garden that night, but yet not have been considered one of the twelve. If this individual had been one of the twelve, the text would likely indicate that.

Heavenly Father, thank you for never leaving nor forsaking your own. Your love is absolutely amazing! Nobody in history will be able to stand on judgment day and say that you have not loved them perfectly. Your measure is just and fair. Thank you! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
