English (Thayer)

an impersonal verb (from the unused ἔξειμι), it is lawful;
a.followed by the present infinitive: Matthew 12:2,10 ( Tdf. infinitive aorist), Matthew 12:12>; Matthew 14:4>; Luke 6:2 ( R G T); Luke 14:3> ( L T Tr WH infinitive aorist); with the aorist infinitive: Matt. (Matthew 15:26> L T); Matthew 22:17; 27:6>; Mark 3:4; Mark 12:14; Luke 6:9; Acts 2:29 (ἐξόν εἰπεῖν scil. ἔστω, allow me (others supply ἐστι, Buttmann, 318 (273); Winer's Grammar, § 64, I:2a., cf. § 2,1d.)); with the infinitive omitted because readily suggested by the context, Mark 2:24 and Rec. in Acts 8:37.
b.followed by the dative of person and a present infinitive: Mark 6:18; Acts 16:21; Acts 22:25; and an aorist infinitive: Matthew 19:3 ( L T WH omit the dative); Matthew 20:15; Mark 2:26 ( R G L Tr text); Mark 10:2; Luke 20:22 R G L; John 5:10; John 18:31; Acts 21:37; ἐξόν ἦν, Matthew 12:4; ἅ οὐκ ἐξόν, namely, ἐστι, 2 Corinthians 12:4; with the infinitive omitted, as being evident from the context: πάντα (μοι) ἔξεστιν, namely, ποιεῖν, 1 Corinthians 6:12; 1 Corinthians 10:23.
c.followed by the accusative and infinitive: Luke 6:4; Luke 20:22 T Tr WH; so here and there even in classic writings; cf. Rost § 127 Anm. 2; Kühner, § 475 Anm. 2; ( Buttmann, § 142,2).
