the full text of St. Mark chapter 10 (between verses 34 and 35 in the standard version of the Bible) contains a passage which includes the following text. --
"And the youth, looking upon him (Jesus), loved him and beseeched that he might remain with him. And going out of the tomb, they went into the house of the youth, for he was rich. And after six days, Jesus instructed him and, at evening, the youth came to him wearing a linen cloth over his naked body. And he remained with him that night, for Jesus taught him the mystery of the Kingdom of God".
Anybody have any other verses to add to that?

Not only has "Secret Mark" been discredited, it doesn't even make any sense.
And they will mock Him and will flog Him and will spit at Him, and will kill Him. And on the third day He will rise again.
(Mark 10:34)
And coming up to Him, James and John, the sons of Zebedee, said, Teacher, we desire that whatever we may ask You would do for us.
(Mark 10:35)
How exactly does Jesus go from talking to the Twelve on the way to Jerusalem (see verse 32) to (according to the alleged "Secret Mark" passage) going to a youth's house (from a tomb, no less)?
"The 'Secret Mark' passages are scribbles penned in the endpapers of a 17th century book. They're enclosed in a text that identifies itself as a copy of a letter sent from Clement of Alexandria (circa A.D. 185) to 'Theodore.' In the letter, Clement identifies 'false passages' in the heretical Carpocratian Gospel of Mark. The all-nighter with the eager almost naked youth episode is authentic, claims Clement, because it's included in an expanded Markan Gospel that was revealed to advanced parishioners of the Alexandrine Church.
As you untie this Gordian knot, you realize its plausibility has more holes than Peter's fishing net. Errors, rumor, innuendo and forgery have had 1,600 years to chew on the manuscript's veracity. Adding to the murk is the fact that only Morton Smith has seen the manuscript -- the monastery archives have been mysteriously closed ever since."

Mark 10:34-35 :: 34 And they will mock him and spit on him, and flog him and kill him. And after three days he will rise.” And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came up to him and said to him, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you.”

Well just look at the basic story. One unmarried guy, hanging around with a bunch of other guys, several that were unmarried. I know want that implies when you meet someone like that now. It wasn't any different then. In fact they were much more adamant that you should marry.
