Matthew Poole and continuators on John 18:20

20 Jesus answered him , I spake openly to the world ; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort , and in secret have I said nothing .

To all sorts of men, my Enemies as well as my Friends.

The Iews for instruction do use to resort to the Temple, which was in Ierusalem, and whither three times in the year, all the Males were wont to come from all parts of the Countrey; and in the publick assemblies of the Iews, and in the places where they use to meet:

I have said nothing in secret, contrary to the Doctrine which I have publickly taught; tho I have Preached in other places, yet it hath been the same thing which I have said in publick.
