"House" in the New Testament

 How is "house" (οἶκος) used in the New Testament?

It can be used of a physical structure, namely an actual building whether a person's dwelling or the temple.  It can also be used of a huge family group:

"House of Israel" Matthew 10:6

"House of David" Luke 1:27

"House of Jacob" Luke 1:33

But when it says "his own house," it doesn't have that broad sense.  Instead it means to the place that the person lives, and the people there.
