Mk 14:51b ... having-been-cast-around a-sindona upon naked, and they-seize him.

The 2nd phrase has these 4 narrator words ... peribeblēmenos sindona epi gumnou, kai kratousin auton (having-been-cast-around a-sindona upon naked, and they-seize him).

The narrator limited himself to 4 bottom-up words for this diagram which is a flashback to the 1st phrase. A "sindōn" is a fine bleached linen sheet for wrapping a dead body for burial. His hands come around the sindōn to the words "epi gumnou" (upon naked) to allow the intelligent reader to fill in the missing words. The naked youth is still together to-him (Jesus). Two of the guards only have a flap of the "sindona" in their hands. The "sindōn" (linen sheet) has the same sign as a "soul" cast over the naked (body) of the youth. The linen sheet represents the burial shroud in which the naked dead body of Jesus will be wrapped. The naked youth represents how Jesus will look when he returns naked and reborn - as a young man in the prime of life, before his beard grows out. This verse is a prophesy of when the naked Jesus was taken down from the cross, wrapped in a linen sheet (sindona) (Mk 15:24), then laid to rest in a rock cut tomb (Mk 15:46). The diagram shows this youth was too high to be strongly held by the 2 temple police. Unlike the top pair holding Jesus, the bottom pair only have their hands on the "sindona" (the white linen sheet) holding the future glorified body of Jesus.
