'Public' in the Bible

And Herod the king heard of him (for his name had become public), and said, John the baptist is risen from among the dead, and on this account works of power are wrought by him.

for no one does anything in secret and himself seeks to be known in public. If thou doest these things, manifest thyself to the world:

and laid hands on the apostles and put them in the public prison.

And on a set day, clothed in royal apparel and sitting on the elevated seat of honour, Herod made a public oration to them.
