Acts 5:42

42 Every day they were in the Temple and homes, teaching and preaching Christ Jesus, not letting up for a minute.

Acts 5:42 Meaning and Commentary

Acts 5:42

And daily in the temple, and in every house
Every day, with great constancy and assiduity, both publicly and privately; in the temple, the place of public worship, where the Jews resorted on that account; and in each of their private houses, as often as they had opportunity:

they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ,
that he is the Son of God, truly and properly God, the only Saviour of sinners: they preached up the dignity of his person, the grace of his incarnation, the obedience of his life, the benefits of his sufferings and death; they preached his resurrection from the dead, and the resurrection of the dead through him; they declared his ascension to heaven, his session at the right hand of God, and intercession for his people; they preached peace and pardon by his blood, atonement of sin by his sacrifice, justification by his righteousness, and complete redemption and salvation by him. And this they did without ceasing, not regarding the orders and threats of the sanhedrim; they waxed bolder and bolder in the ministry of the word, and were more constant and assiduous in it; their reproaches and persecutions increased their zeal for Christ, and his cause.

Acts 5:42 In-Context

40 That convinced them. They called the apostles back in. After giving them a thorough whipping, they warned them not to speak in Jesus' name and sent them off.
41 The apostles went out of the High Council overjoyed because they had been given the honor of being dishonored on account of the Name.
42 Every day they were in the Temple and homes, teaching and preaching Christ Jesus, not letting up for a minute.
