Exegesis
The phrase tō kosmō {τῷ κόσμῳ | tō kosmō} ‘to the world’ extends that openness to the wider public sphere.
The paired phrases en synagōgē {ἐν συναγωγῇ | en synagōgē} and en tō hierō {ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ | en tō hierō} create a coordinated public-setting pattern: synagogue and temple are both visible, communal places of instruction.

In context — John 18:20
