'Allow' in the Bible

But He would not allow it. "Go home to your family," He said, "and report to them all that the Lord has done for you, and the mercy He has shown you."

And so you no longer allow him to do anything for his father or mother,

"Allow us," they replied, "to sit one at your right hand and the other at your left hand, in your glory."

and would not allow any one to carry anything through the Temple.
