'Secret' in the Bible

since no one acts in secret if he wants to be known publicly. If you're going to do these things, you should reveal yourself to the world!"

But after his brothers had gone up to the festival, he went up himself, not openly but, as it were, in secret.

Jesus answered him, "I have spoken publicly to the world. I have always taught in the synagogue or in the Temple, where all Jews meet together, and I have said nothing in secret.

Later on, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus (though a secret one because he was afraid of the Jewish leaders), asked Pilate to let him remove the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission, and he came and removed his body.
