Kata Markon

I think the young man is John-Mark, the author himself, over whom Paul and 
Barnabas parted company in Acts 15:38-39. I believe His mother's house is 
likly the location of the "upper room" of the house church in Acts 1 :12, 
and where the diciples partook of the last supper Mark 14 before 
unexpectedly (to them not Jesus) leaving for gethsemane after Judas left to 
betry Him.  Returning with the temple guards (because he couldn't tell them 
before hand where they would be because of Jesus' unusual instructions in 
14:13-15 had hid the location from Judus)finding them gone figures they 
probably went to Gethsemane and goes there, John/Mark awoken (at his 
mother's house by the temple guards and Judus, quickly pull about himself 
just a sheet and follows to see what is going on and in there by an 
eyewittness to what he later records with Peter's help in the Gospel of 
Mark.  This also follow an existing pattern of litterature in which the 
author anonamously records his presence.
