'Private' in the Bible

He did not tell them anything without using a parable, though he explained everything to his disciples in private.

Then turning to his disciples in private, he told them, "How blessed are the eyes that see what you see!

Therefore, what you have said in darkness will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in private rooms will be shouted from the housetops."

I went in response to a revelation, and in a private meeting with the reputed leaders, I explained to them the gospel that I'm proclaiming to the gentiles. I did this because I was afraid that I was running or had run my life's race for nothing.
