A Young Man Flees

⁵¹ And a young man followed him, with nothing but ^(A)a linen cloth about his body. And they seized him,

⁵² but he left the linen cloth and ran away naked.

¹² When he realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of ^(A)John whose other name was Mark, where many were gathered together and ^(B)were praying.

^25 (A)And Barnabas and Saul returned from^[a] Jerusalem when they had completed their service, bringing with them ^(B)John, whose other name was Mark.

³⁷ Now Barnabas wanted to take with them ^(A)John called Mark. ³⁸ But Paul thought best not to take with them one ^(B)who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia and had not gone with them to the work. ³⁹ And there arose ^(C)a sharp disagreement, so that they separated from each other. ^(D)Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus, ⁴⁰ but Paul chose Silas and departed, ^(E)having been commended by ^(F)the brothers to ^(G)the grace of the Lord. ⁴¹ And he went through Syria and Cilicia, ^(H)strengthening the churches.

^11 (A)Luke alone is with me. Get ^(B)Mark and bring him with you, for he is very useful to me for ministry.
