Only in the earliest version of Jesus's capture, appearing in the Gospel of Mark 14:51–52, is there any mention of a fleeing naked young man. The arrest of Jesus and Judas' role in acting as a guide to those arresting him are subsequently referred to by Peter in Acts 1:16.
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).

Mark points out that the Mount of Olives is across from the Temple. [112] When Jesus is arrested, a naked young man flees. [113] A young man in a robe also appears in Mark 16:5–7. Mark does not name the High Priest. [114] Witness testimony against Jesus does not agree. [115] The cock crows "twice" as predicted. [116] See also Fayyum Fragment ...
Following the accounts of Jesus' young life, there is a gap of about 18 years in his story in the New Testament. [4] [6] [12] The Finding in the Temple is described in chapter 2 of the Gospel of Luke. It is the only event of the later childhood of Jesus mentioned in a canonical gospel. [13]
In Matthew 26:36–46, Mark 14:32–42, Luke 22:39–46 and John 18:1, immediately after the Last Supper, Jesus takes a walk to pray, Matthew and Mark identifying this place of prayer as Garden of Gethsemane. [128] [129] Jesus is accompanied by Peter, John and James the Greater, whom he asks to "remain here and keep watch with me."
