Does the following passage mean anything? It’s in the chapter where they are about to arrest Jesus. Who was that man?

Mark 14: (51) A young man, wearing nothing but a linen garment, was following Jesus. When they seized him, (52) he fled naked, leaving his garment behind.
 
I believe there is a tradition (little “t”) that this person is Mark.
 
That’s what I have learned as well–since it is only in his Gospel account.

There was actually a thread on this already but I don’t know if it was lost in the crash.

Anyway the Haydock commentary in the Douay-Rheims Bible says that he was probably the owner, or the son of the owner of the garden, who upon hearing the tumult came to see what was the cause.
 
Interesting, I think I have to start getting a Bible with footnotes.
