νεανίσκος τις συνηκολούθει αὐτῷ, περιβεβλημένος σινδόνα ἐπὶ γυμνοῦ
/a/_young_man certain /was/_accompanying ˱with˲_him /having_been/_clothed /a/_linen_cloth over /his/_naked_‹body›
Here Mark introduces a certain young man as a new participant in the story. If your language has its own way of introducing new participants, you could use it here in your translation. Alternate translation: “a certain young man was there with Jesus. He was wearing a linen garment over his naked body”
Note 2 topic: translate-unknown
σινδόνα
/a/_linen_cloth
The term linen refers to a high-quality cloth made from the fibers of the flax plant. If your readers would be unfamiliar with linen, you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: “a garment made of fine cloth”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐπὶ γυμνοῦ
over /his/_naked_‹body›
Here Mark implies that the young man was not wearing anything except for the linen garment. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “and nothing else”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
κρατοῦσιν αὐτόν
˱they˲_/are/_apprehending him
Here Mark implies that the men who arrested Jesus seized this young man by his garment. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “the men seize him by his garment”
14:51-52 The account of Jesus’ arrest ends with this comment about an unnamed young man. There does not seem to be any theological reason for Mark to record this incident. The explanation that it is an autobiographical detail about Mark is as good as any.
