'Protest' in the Bible

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.
