[177:5] Origen, “Dial, de Recta in Deum Fide,” sec. i. tom. i. p. 806; Edit.  Delarue.  Paris, 1733.  See Whitby’s “Preface to Luke.”  There is good reason to believe that the “young man” mentioned Mark xiv. 51, 52, was no other than Mark himself (Davidson’s “Introduction to the New Testament,” i. 139); and if so, we have thus additional evidence that the evangelist had enjoyed the advantages of our Lord’s ministry.  He has always been reputed the founder of the Church of Alexandria, and the testimony of Origen to the fact that he was one of the Seventy is therefore of special value; as the Alexandrian presbyter was, no doubt, well acquainted with the traditions of the Church of the Egyptian metropolis.
