'Persisted' in the Bible

[Jesus said this] because the scribes and Pharisees were [attributing His miracles to Satan by] saying, “He has an unclean spirit.”

But they persisted in saying, "He incites the people by teaching throughout all Judea. It started in Galilee and ended up here!"

When they persisted in questioning Him, He stood up and said to them, “The one without sin among you should be the first to throw a stone at her.”

This she persisted in for a considerable time, until Paul, wearied out, turned round and said to the spirit, "I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her." And it came out immediately.

I am also aware that you have persisted steadfastly, endured much for the sake of my name, and have not grown weary.
