A streaker in the Bible? Yes, indeed!

The woman anoints Jesus' head with oil (Mark 14:1-9)

Judas commits to betrayal (Mark 14:10-11)

Jesus and disciples observe Passover and the Lord's Supper (Mark 14:12-26)

The Garden of Gethsemane (Mark 14:27-42)

Jesus arrested (Mark 14:43-50)

The Streak (Mark 14:51-52)

    We have no way of knowing who this is, but here is an interesting thought. We know that the upper room scene most likely took place at the house of Mary, the mother of John Mark (Acts 12:12).
So the possibility of John Mark being in the house and even overhearing the events of that night are pretty good. Since the book of Mark is written by John Mark and he is the only one to share this event, it could have been him. Maybe as a young man late at night (bed time), over hearing events, he threw a linen cloth around himself and followed them out to the garden out of curiosity.
    Once again, we can not know for sure and it is not really important, but sometimes my brain likes to chase things a little.

The trial of Jesus (Mark 14:53-65)

Prophecy of Peter's denial fulfilled (Mark 14:66-72)
