Another thread made me consider....who was this naked young man mentioned in Mark? To be without the Lord is to be...naked. When Christ was taken from among His disciples to go before the high priests....
This young man followed Him and wore linen, which represents the righteous acts of saints, yet....he fled. He lost his "linen cloth" and was again...naked...without Christ. Who is this young man? Some say they believe it was Mark. I believe it was Peter!
Peter fled and Peter denied Christ three times. He was naked and remained so until "Jesus showed Himself again" when the disciples were fishing and "that night they caught nothing." [John 21:1-3]
Peter was naked! I believe Peter was the young man that fled and lost his linen cloth. He would regain it but for a time he was without Christ.
Mark 14:52-52 And there followed Him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him: And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.

John 21:6-8 And He said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea. And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes.
Peter was naked! I believe Peter was the young man that fled and lost his linen cloth. He would regain it but for a time he was without Christ.
