Exegesis
Hopou {ὅπου | hopou} ‘where’ introduces a relative clause in which pantes hoi Ioudaioi {πάντες οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι | pantes hoi Ioudaioi} ‘all the Jews’ serve as the subject of synerchontai {συνέρχονται | synerchontai} ‘come together,’ reinforcing the public accessibility of His teaching.
In context — John 18:20
Jesus answered him, “I have spoken publicly before the world . I have always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all the Jews gather, and I said nothing in secret.”
