      16 The apostles wasted no time in resuming their witnessing work. Undaunted, they continued “every day in the temple and from house to house” the work of “declaring the good news about the Christ.”d (Acts 5:42) These zealous preachers were determined to bear thorough witness. Notice that they took their message to the homes of people, as Jesus Christ had directed them. (Matt. 10:7, 11-14) No doubt, that is how they had managed to fill Jerusalem with their teaching. Today, Jehovah’s Witnesses are known for following that apostolic method of preaching. By calling at each house in our territory, we clearly demonstrate that we too want to be thorough, giving everyone an opportunity to hear the good news. Has Jehovah blessed our house-to-house ministry? Yes, he has! Millions have responded to the Kingdom message in this time of the end, and many first heard the good news when a Witness knocked on their door.

      PREACHING “FROM HOUSE TO HOUSE”

      Despite the Sanhedrin’s ban on their preaching activity, the disciples continued preaching and teaching “every day in the temple and from house to house.” (Acts 5:42) Exactly what does “from house to house” mean?

      In the original Greek, the phrase katʼ oiʹkon literally means “according to house.” Several translators state that the word ka·taʹ is to be understood in a “distributive” sense, that is, the disciples’ preaching was distributed from one house to another. A similar use of ka·taʹ occurs at Luke 8:1, where Jesus is said to have preached “from city to city and from village to village.”

      The plural form, katʼ oiʹkous, is used at Acts 20:20. The apostle Paul told Christian overseers: “I did not hold back from . . . teaching you publicly and from house to house.” That Paul here was not simply talking about teaching in the elders’ homes, as some suggest, is indicated in the next verse: “But I thoroughly bore witness both to Jews and to Greeks about repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus.” (Acts 20:21) Fellow believers had already repented and put faith in Jesus. So the preaching and teaching from house to house clearly had to do with bearing witness to unbelievers.
