42 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.
42 Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Messiah.
42 And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they did not cease teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ.
42 Every day they were in the Temple and homes, teaching and preaching Christ Jesus, not letting up for a minute.
42 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they did not cease teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ.
42 And every day, in the Temple and from house to house, they continued to teach and preach this message: "Jesus is the Messiah."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Acts 5:42
Commentary on Acts 5:34-42
(Read Acts 5:34-42)
The Lord still has all hearts in his hands, and sometimes directs the prudence of the worldly wise, so as to restrain the persecutors. Common sense tells us to be cautious, while experience and observation show that the success of frauds in matters of religion has been very short. Reproach for Christ is true preferment, as it makes us conformable to his pattern, and serviceable to his interest. They rejoiced in it. If we suffer ill for doing well, provided we suffer it well, and as we should, we ought to rejoice in that grace which enabled us so to do. The apostles did not preach themselves, but Christ. This was the preaching that most offended the priests. But it ought to be the constant business of gospel ministers to preach Christ: Christ, and him crucified; Christ, and him glorified; nothing beside this, but what has reference to it. And whatever is our station or rank in life, we should seek to make Him known, and to glorify his name.
