The Greek verb “ἔξεστιν”

Found most often in the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, Acts, and First Corinthians, the Greek verb “exestin” meant “it is possible,” “it is lawful,” “it is permitted.”

Some Pharisees told the Lord His disciples were doing what was not “lawful” on the Sabbath (Mt. 12:2).  Jesus said it was not “lawful” for David to eat the showbread (Mt. 12:4).  Jesus was asked if it was “lawful” to heal on the Sabbath (Mt. 12:10).  Some marriages may be legal by the laws of men but unauthorized in the sight of God (Mt. 14:4).

Jesus was asked about the “lawfulness” of paying tribute money (Mt. 22:17).  It appears the Corinthians were saying all things were “lawful” (1 Cor. 6:12) because of their entrance into Christ.  Paul met this argument by saying not everything is “expedient.”  Some claim to leave this life, have an encounter with God, and then “return to report what they heard.”  Paul had this experience and then said the words he heard in the hereafter are not “lawful” to speak (2 Cor. 12:4).
