'Protest' in the Bible

So Paul and Barnabas shook the dust off their feet in protest against them and went to Iconium.

But when they began to oppose him and insult him, he shook out his clothes in protest and told them, "Your blood be on your own heads! I am innocent. From now on I will go to the gentiles."

If, then, Demetrius and the workmen who are with him have a protest to make against any man, the law is open to them, and there are judges; let them put up a cause at law against one another.

For that reason I testify to you on this [our parting] day that I am innocent of the blood of all people.

But when the Jews made protest against it, I had to put my cause into Caesar's hands; not because I have anything to say against my nation.
