'Allowed' in the Bible

So they told them, just as Jesus had said, and they allowed them [to take it].

And after these [things], Joseph [who was] from Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus (but a secret one for fear of the Jews), asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus. And Pilate allowed [it], so he came and took away his body.

And on the next [day], we put in at Sidon. And Julius, treating Paul kindly, allowed [him] to go to [his] friends {to be cared for}.

And when we entered into Rome, Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who was guarding him.
