Matthew 26:56

Now all this was done, that the *Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then the disciples **all leaving him, fled away.

Lamentations 4:20.; Mark 14:50.

All leaving him, fled away. Yet Peter and another soon followed after at a distance. St. Mark says (xiv. 51,) that a young man followed with nothing on but a linen cloth. Perhaps it was some one that upon the noise came hastily out of the neighbourhood; and when they catched hold on him, fled away naked. It is not known who he was. (Witham)
