    In Mark's gospel, as Christ is being arrested it says 'There was a young man who had on nothing but a linen cloth. As they seized him he left the cloth and ran off naked.' (Mark 14:51-52) Why did the gospel writer include this strange passage?

    		Only Mark tells of this incident,and many believe that this young man was Mark himself. How else would he have known this story, and why else would he have included it?
