In the Greek, "καθ' ἡμέραν" (kath' hēmeran) suggests a daily, habitual action. This reflects the early church's dedication to spreading the Gospel, undeterred by persecution or opposition. It serves as a model for modern believers, encouraging a consistent and persistent faith practice.in the temple courts The "temple courts" were central to Jewish religious life, a place of worship, teaching, and community gathering. The Greek term "ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ" (en tō hierō) indicates the physical location within the temple complex. The apostles' presence here signifies their boldness and commitment to reaching both Jews and Gentiles in a familiar and significant setting, highlighting the continuity of the Christian message with Jewish tradition.and from house to house The phrase "from house to house" (Greek: "κατ' οἶκον," kat' oikon) illustrates the personal and communal aspect of early Christian evangelism. This approach allowed for intimate fellowship and discipleship, fostering a strong sense of community. It underscores the importance of personal relationships in spreading the Gospel, a principle that remains vital in contemporary ministry.they did not stop The determination of the apostles is captured in "they did not stop" (Greek: "οὐκ ἐπαύοντο," ouk epaunonto). Despite facing severe persecution, they remained steadfast. This phrase inspires believers to persevere in their faith and witness, regardless of external pressures or challenges, trusting in God's provision and strength.teaching and proclaiming "Teaching and proclaiming" (Greek: "διδάσκοντες καὶ εὐαγγελιζόμενοι," didaskontes kai euangelizomenoi) highlights the dual aspects of the apostles' ministry. "Teaching" involves instructing believers in the doctrines of the faith, while "proclaiming" refers to the public declaration of the Gospel. This combination is essential for both edifying the church and reaching the lost, emphasizing the need for sound doctrine and evangelistic zeal.the good news The "good news" (Greek: "τὸ εὐαγγέλιον," to euangelion) is the core message of Christianity, centered on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is a message of hope, redemption, and salvation, offered to all who believe. This term reminds believers of the transformative power of the Gospel and their responsibility to share it with others.that Jesus is the Christ The declaration "that Jesus is the Christ" (Greek: "ὅτι Ἰησοῦς ἐστιν ὁ Χριστός," hoti Iēsous estin ho Christos) affirms Jesus as the Messiah, the anointed one promised in the Hebrew Scriptures. This proclamation is foundational to Christian faith, asserting Jesus' divine identity and mission. It calls believers to recognize and submit to Jesus' lordship, living in accordance with His teachings and example.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/acts/5.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(42) And daily in the temple.--Probably, as before, in the Portico of Solomon; the captain of the Temple now acting on the resolution just taken, and letting the movement take its course without interruption.And in every house.--Better, as in <a href="/acts/2-46.htm" title="And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,">Acts 2:46</a>, at home: in their place, or, it may be, places, of meeting.To teach and preach Jesus Christ.--Better, to teach and to declare the good tidings of Jesus Christ.

The meaning is that they daily preached Jesus Christ both in the temple and in the house or houses where the disciples were wont to meet (see <a href="/acts/2-46.htm">Acts 2:46</a>, note). The spirit and conduct of the apostles here recorded is a precious example to their successors. To glory in the cross, to count shame endured for Christ's sake the highest honor, and to be unwearied and undaunted in teaching and preaching Jesus Christ through good report and through evil report, is the true character and work of every bishop of souls. <a href="/commentaries/acts/5-42.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>Every πᾶσάν (pasan) Adjective - Accusative Feminine Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_3956.htm">Strong's 3956: </a> All, the whole, every kind of.
