# So they arrested them and put them into prison

The connecting word **So** introduces a reason and result relationship. The reason is the leaders of the Temple were very upset; the result is they arrested Peter and John and put them into prison. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/grammar-connect-logic-result]])

# But many people believed what Peter said

The connecting word **But** introduces a contrast relationship. You would expect that people would not believe, because Peter and John were put in prison. Instead, 5000 men believed! (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/grammar-connect-logic-contrast]])

# The number of men

This was in addition to the women and children who believed.
