Ford Yes it is nice to imagine that Jesus was one of us, but I think the same boy in Mark, very likely is the same boy in Secret Mark, which helps further my (bias) speculation on Jesus. If nothing else this passage proves that Jesus had a very devoted boy groupie, so much so that he was almost arrested, and the only follower who stayed the longest with Jesus during the arrest. Oh if only we could ask Mark what he meant! God Speed David |
