Mark 15:6-7

\v 6 Now at the time of the festival, Pilate usually released to them one prisoner, a prisoner they requested.
\v 7 There with the rebels in prison, among the murderers held for their part in the rebellion, was a man named Barabbas.

\v 6 Now at the time of the festival, Pilate usually released to them one prisoner, a prisoner they requested,
\v 7 and there was a man called Barabbas in prison with the rebels who had committed murder during the rebellion.

Current ULB is the same.

I am not sure it is helpful to put a comma at the end of verse, making a really long sentence.

I like the reordering of verse 7 in the current version.

SQ.

I can see 6 and 7 being one long sentence because they are background information. The action starts up again in v8. But maybe the "And" at the beginning of verse 7 is enough to help readers see that it is part of the background info in 6. John, what do you think?

\v 6 Now at the time of the festival, Pilate usually released to them one prisoner, a prisoner they requested**.**
\v 7 And there was a man called Barabbas in prison with the rebels who had committed murder during the rebellion.

JH: The UDB breaks it up into shorter sentences, so I am fine leaving ULB as is or using your suggestion.

SQ
I'd like it broken up to put less of a load on the readers.

Tom, could you divide Mark 15:6-7 into two sentences?

\v 6 Now at the time of the festival, Pilate usually released to them one prisoner, a prisoner they requested,
\v 7 and there was a man called Barabbas in prison with the rebels who had committed murder during the rebellion.

SQ. I withdraw this request. It does not fit with what this file says about sentence-initial "And":
