Bible Question: What is the significance of this verse. I heard it on Palm Sunday during the Passion and it really took me back because I've never heard it used in my Church. Thank You for your time. |
Bible Answer: Quest Study Bible.Nobody knows for sure.Early in church history it was suggested that this was Mark,the Gospel writer himself. Perhaps he in his night clothes had followed the disciples from his home where Jesus and the Twelve had earlier celebrated the Last Supper(Acts12:12). He may be including a bit of his own biography, however shameful,right in the middle of this dramatic story. Whether or not this was Mark, the story documents how Jesus' followers completely abandoned him. |
