SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:42
Y todos los días no cesaban, en el Templo y por las casas, enseando y predicando el Evangelio de Jess, el Cristo.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Acts 5:42
Verse 42. Daily in the temple] That is at the hours of morning and evening prayer; for they felt it their duty to worship God in public, and to help others to make a profitable use of the practice. Every man that professes Christianity should, in this respect also, copy their conduct: nor can any man be considered to have any religion, let his sentiments be what they may, who does not attend on the public worship of his Maker. They ceased not to teach and preach Jesus.] Far from desisting, they became more zealous, yea, incessant, in their work. They took advantage of the public assemblies in the temple, as well as of all private opportunities, to teach all the truths of their holy religion; and to preach, proclaim Jesus as the only Messiah, that he who was crucified rose from the dead, and was exalted a Prince and a saviour at the right hand of God.
How little must these men have regarded their lives, who in the midst of such danger could pursue a line of conduct which, to all human views, must terminate in their ruin. They loved their Master, they loved his work, they loved their thankless countrymen, they loved their present wages- persecution and stripes, and hated nothing but their own lives! These men were proper persons to be employed in converting the world.
Preachers of the Gospel, look at those men, and learn at once your duty, your employment, and your interest. Live and preach like apostles, and God will crown your labours with similar success.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 42. And daily in the temple, and in every house , etc.] 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.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 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. Commo sense tells us to be cautious, while experience and observation sho 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. I 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 his crucified; Christ, and him glorified; nothing beside this, but what ha reference to it. And whatever is our station or rank in life, we shoul seek to make Him known, and to glorify his name __________________________________________________________________

Robertson's NT Word Studies
5:42 {Every day} (pasan hemeran). Accusative of extent of time, all through every day. {In the temple and at home} (en twi hierwi kai kat' oikon). this was a distinct triumph to go back to the temple where they had been arrested (verse #25) and at home or from house to house, as it probably means (cf. #2:46). It was a great day for the disciples in Jerusalem. {They ceased not} (ouk epauonto). Imperfect middle. They kept it up. {Jesus as the Christ} (ton criston iesoun). Jesus is the direct object of the participles didaskontes (teaching) and euaggelizomenoi (preaching or evangelizing) while "the Christ" (ton criston) is the predicate accusative. These words give the substance of the early apostolic preaching as these opening chapters of Acts show, that Jesus of Nazareth is the Messiah of promise. Gamaliel had opened the prison doors for them and they took full advantage of the opportunity that now was theirs.
