In this sense there is a similarity; the young disciple (Mark) began to follow Jesus but stopped, whereas later two of the apostles who had fled took up following their arrested Master.
Selles mõttes on siin sarnasus; noor jünger (Markus) hakkas Jeesust järgima, kuid loobus, kuna aga hiljem alustasid kinnivõetud Isanda järgimist kaks põgenenud apostlit.
