The naked fugitive (or naked runaway or naked youth) is an unidentified figure mentioned briefly in the Gospel of Mark, immediately after the arrest of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane and the fleeing of all his disciples: The parallel accounts in the other canonical Gospels make no mention of this incident. The wearing of a single cloth would not have been indecent or extraordinary, and there are many ancient accounts of how easily such garments would come loose, especially with sudden movements. Since ancient times, many have speculated on the identity of this young man, proposing: * Simply someone else who happened to be there. * James the Just〔Epiphanius, ''Panarion'' 78.13.2〕 * The Beloved Disciple (John)〔Ambrose, ''Exp. Ps. 36'' 60.〕〔Peter Chrysologus, ''Sermon'' 78.〕 * Mark himself〔 Allen studies the origins of this theory and finds it first mentioned in a 13th-century manuscript.〕 * Lazarus of Bethany Many have seen this episode as connected to a later verse in Mark: "And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe," as the word for ''young man'' (') occurs in Mark only in these two places. ==See also== * ''Secret Gospel of Mark'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「naked fugitive」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
