Exegesis
Parrēsia {παρρησίᾳ | parrēsia} ‘openly’ functions as a dative of manner with lelalēka {λελάληκα | lelalēka} ‘I have spoken,’ so the perfect form presents His open speech as a completed action with continuing validity.
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.”
