'Able' in the Bible

Since they were not able to bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, they removed the roof above where He was. And when they had broken through, they lowered the mat on which the paralytic was lying.

Then He went home, and the crowd gathered again so that they were not even able to eat.

He would speak the word to them with many parables like these, as they were able to understand.

He lived in the tombs. No one was able to restrain him anymore—even with chains—

So He was not able to do any miracles there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them.

But Jesus said to them, “You don’t know what you’re asking. Are you able to drink the cup I drink or to be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with?”

“We are able,” they told Him.Jesus said to them, “You will drink the cup I drink, and you will be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with.
