Twist family Bible study: the Gospel of Mark
Wayne:
The second excerpt is very brief and is to be inserted, according to Clement, in Mark 10:46:
And the sister of the youth whom Jesus loved and his mother and Salome were there, and Jesus did not receive them.
Wayne:
The description of Jesus accompanied by a young man wearing only a linen cloth - and then wearing nothing - comes up again in the official text of Mark in chapter 14 verses 51-52: a young man in a linen cloth is seized during Jesus' arrest, but he escapes at the cost of his clothing. :-\
As we read further I wonder if we can discern how much time passes between Secret Mark and Jesus's arrest... ?
If these two events were close together, maybe this is the same young man?
And maybe this young man is the same as "the disciple whom Jesus loved," who was the author of the gospel of John.
For me it makes the whole story come together. Suddenly these are people I can understand... :)

Wayne where did all the apostles go after the crucifixion? I know Mark went to Egypt but his body ended up in Venice, where it rests in a basilica. Seems like Tomas went to India and Bartholomew went to Armenia, and of course Peter to Rome. Interesting this letter to Clement was in Alexandria.
Wayne:
Interesting, yes... if Mark went to Egypt then it seems particularly plausible that another version of his text could have been circulating in Alexandria.

So you think his treatment of women is indicitive of the way women were treated in that society, or maybe Jesus was not interested in spend his time telling them about the kingdom? i.e., he was not interested in women.
