Word study on epitrepo (permit) across the New Testament

Mike examines every NT use of epitrepo to determine whether it carries authority or merely expresses personal preference.
Epitrepo appears in the NT in contexts where figures with genuine authority are granting or withholding permission: Jesus permits demons to enter pigs (Mark 5:13), a Roman commander permits Paul to speak (Acts 21:40), Festus permits Paul to speak for himself (Acts 26:1), Paul says 'I permit' regarding marriage decisions (1 Cor 7). In every case, the person using epitrepo has real authority over the situation. Mike argues this completely undermines the claim that 'I do not permit' is weak or non-authoritative language. The word inherently implies the speaker has jurisdiction to grant or deny permission.
