I'll take a crack at this one, because it lets me bring up my favorite theory about Mark:

I believe that both the naked man and the man in the tomb are the author himself. It is his way of explaining why the story has not been heard before (the disciples and the women at the tomb having been coerced into silence throughout the text).
Just a theory, but it seems to make sense to me. |

I call him Amos. "And a young man followed him with nothing but a linen cloth about his body and they seized him, but he left the linen cloth and ran away naked" "Mark" 14.51 Cos the above is a prophecy fulfillment of: " and he who is stout of heart among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day" Amos 2.16 cheers yalla |
