Mark 14:52

Fear

50 Then everyone deserted Him and fled.

51 One young man who had been following Jesus was wearing a linen cloth around his body. They caught hold of him,

but he pulled free of the linen cloth and ran away naked.

53 They led Jesus away to the high priest, and all the chief priests, elders, and scribes assembled.

54 Peter followed Him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. And he sat with the officers and warmed himself by the fire.
