'Possible' in the Bible

But God raised him up, having released him from the pains of death, because it was not possible for him to be held in its power.

Those who accompanied Paul escorted him as far as Athens, and after receiving an order for Silas and Timothy to come to him as soon as possible, they left.

For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus so as not to spend time in the province of Asia, for he was hurrying to arrive in Jerusalem, if possible, by the day of Pentecost.

At the same time he was also hoping that Paul would give him money, and for this reason he sent for Paul as often as possible and talked with him.
