Acts 5:42

5:42 And every day both in the temple courts ¹  and from house to house, they did not stop teaching and proclaiming the good news ²  that Jesus was the Christ. ³ 

Acts 15:35

15:35 But Paul and Barnabas remained in Antioch, ⁴  teaching and proclaiming (along with many others) ⁵  the word of the Lord. ⁶ 

Acts 5:25

5:25 But someone came and reported to them, “Look! The men you put in prison are standing in the temple courts ⁷  and teaching ⁸  the people!”

¹ tn Grk “temple.” This is actually a reference to the courts surrounding the temple proper and has been translated accordingly.

² tn Grk “teaching and evangelizing.” They were still obeying God, not men (see 4:18-20; 5:29).

³ tn Or “Messiah”; both “Christ” (Greek) and “Messiah” (Hebrew and Aramaic) mean “one who has been anointed.”

⁴ sn Antioch was a city in Syria (not Antioch in Pisidia).

⁵ sn This is a parenthetical note by the author.

⁶ sn The word of the Lord is a technical expression in OT literature, often referring to a divine prophetic utterance (e.g., Gen 15:1, Isa 1:10, Jonah 1:1). In the NT it occurs 15 times: 3 times as ῥῆμα τοῦ κυρίου (rJhma tou kuriou; Luke 22:61, Acts 11:16, 1 Pet 1:25) and 12 times as λόγος τοῦ κυρίου (logo" tou kuriou; here and in v. 36; Acts 8:25; 13:44, 48, 49; 16:32; 19:10, 20; 1 Thess 1:8, 4:15; 2 Thess 3:1). As in the OT, this phrase focuses on the prophetic nature and divine origin of what has been said.

⁷ tn Grk “the temple.” This is actually a reference to the courts surrounding the temple proper, and has been translated accordingly.

⁸ sn Obeying God (see v. 29), the apostles were teaching again (4:18-20; 5:20). They did so despite the risk.
