Given the extremely tight connections Mark maintains between his gospels and
the Old Testament, this explanation seems to be more likely to be correct
than others I've heard.  Does anyone disagree?


I do :-)
I believe the young man in Mark 14.51 illustrates how excited the crowd had
become. They had become so so frenzied that they would seize anyone who even
~appeared~ to be a follower of Jesus. The young man escapes only because he
is wearing a toga-likegarment. When they grap him, it is left in their hands
as he turns and runs.

Peace to you,
