The word in Greek mistranslated as 'preach' means to proclaim; it does not mean to preach a sermon. The word "preach" as found in modern New Testaments should never be confused with what one commonly hears today from television evangelists and religious pulpits, much of which is the antithesis of the New Testament message of proclaiming good news for sinners and average people.
Anyone who feels the need to shout at their audience or otherwise try to force them to believe or, believe just because the Bible says so, is more than likely someone who has no idea where the real Jesus is coming from. In the real First Century assembly of Jesus, there was no preacher who gave a prepared sermon. There was no pre-planned program; meetings were spontaneous, with individual believers speaking or singing as they were so moved by the spirit of Jesus.
What average people and sinners utterly detest or are otherwise bored to tears regarding, is a sure sign that the message being "preached" isn't remotely in tune with the real Jesus. Messiah held the attention of thousands of everyday people out in the elements for days at a time, without either an auditorium or any refreshment stands, means of voice amplification, lighting, music or other entertainment.
Those who wear any type of religious attire when preaching to the common masses don't really have a clue in regard to the real Jesus. Nor does a modern priest or preacher who feels the need to dress any differently than average people shopping at the mall. Anyone can proclaim the good news of Jesus; there is no divinity or other degree necessary, required or desired.
