'Kept' in the Bible

and said to him, "Everyone serves the good wine first, and then the cheaper wine when the guests are drunk. You have kept the good wine until now!"

Some people said, "This is the man!" while others said, "No, but he looks like him." The man himself kept insisting, "I am the one!"

So Jesus said, "Leave her alone. She has kept it for the day of my burial.

So they kept on repeating, "What is the meaning of what he says, 'In a little while'? We do not understand what he is talking about."

When I was with them I kept them safe and watched over them in your name that you have given me. Not one of them was lost except the one destined for destruction, so that the scripture could be fulfilled.
