'Protest' in the Bible
Wherever they refuse to receive you, as you leave that town shake off the very dust from your feet as a protest against them."
"'The very dust of your town that hangs about us we wipe off as a protest. Only be sure of this, that the Kingdom of God is close at hand.'
But they shook off the dust from their feet as a protest against them and came to Iconium;
But upon their opposing him with abusive language, he shook his clothes by way of protest, and said to them, "Your ruin will be upon your own heads. I am not responsible: in future I will go among the Gentiles."
Therefore I protest to you to-day that I am not responsible for the ruin of any one of you.
I protest, brethren, as surely as I glory over you--which I may justly do in Christ Jesus our Lord--that I die day by day.
I once more protest to every man who receives circumcision that he is under obligation to obey the whole Law of Moses.
