Mark (alone among the evangelists) then relates that there was a young man who was a follower (Ancient Greek: τις συνηκολουθει αυτω, tis synēkolouthei autō) of Jesus, who was wearing "nothing but a linen garment"; he was seized by the crowd, [26] and he left his clothes behind and fled away naked (see also Naked fugitive).
Antonio da Correggio, The Betrayal of Christ, with a soldier in pursuit of Mark the Evangelist, c. 1522.

Just after sunrise, Mary Magdalene, another Mary, the mother of James, [11] and Salome come with the spices to anoint Jesus' body. Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome are also mentioned among the women "looking on from afar" in Mark 15:40, although those who "saw where the body was laid" in Mark 15:47 were only Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses.
