'Protest' in the Bible

He will protest on that day, saying,“I will not be your healer,For in my house there is neither bread nor cloak;You should not appoint me ruler of the people.”

‘Even the dust of your city which clings to our feet we wipe off in protest against you; yet be sure of this, that the kingdom of God has come near.’

But they shook off the dust of their feet in protest against them and went to Iconium.

I affirm, brethren, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
