Exegesis
The relative adverb hopou {ὅπου | hó-pou} introduces the location clause, while the causal phrase dia ton phobon tōn Ioudaiōn {διὰ τὸν φόβον τῶν Ἰουδαίων | di-á ton phó-bon τῶν I-ou-daí-ōn} explains why the disciples remained inside.
In context — John 20:19
Therefore, as evening was coming on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors remained shut where the disciples were because of fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and says to them, “Peace to you.”
