STRONGS G1832:
ἔξεστι, 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: [Matthew 15:26 L T]; Matthew 22:17; 27:6; Mark 3:4; Mark 12:14; Luke 6:9; Acts 2:29 (ἐξὸν εἰπεῖν scil. ἔστω, allow me, [others supply ἐστι, Buttmann, 318 (273); Winer's Grammar, § 64, I. 2 a., cf. § 2, 1 d.]); 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; ἐξὸν ἦν, Matthew 12:4; ἃ οὐκ ἐξόν, namely, ἐστί, 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].
