'Insisting' in the Bible

But he kept insisting, “If I have to die with You, I will never deny You!” And they all said the same thing.

About an hour later, another kept insisting, “This man was certainly with Him, since he’s also a Galilean.”

But they kept insisting, “He stirs up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, from Galilee where He started even to here.”

“You’re crazy!” they told her. But she kept insisting that it was true. Then they said, “It’s his angel!”

Let no one disqualify you, insisting on ascetic practices and the worship of angels, claiming access to a visionary realm and inflated without cause by his unspiritual mind.

They want to be teachers of the law, although they don’t understand what they are saying or what they are insisting on.
