"to stretch out or forth," is so rendered in Matthew 12:13 (twice),49; 14:31; 26:51; Mark 3:5 (twice); Luke 6:10; in Matthew 8:3; Mark 1:41; Luke 5:13 , RV (AV, "put forth"); Luke 22:53; John 21:18; Acts 4:30; 26:1 . For Acts 27:30 see LAY , No. 13.
an intensive form of No. 1 (epi, "forth"), is used in Philippians 3:13 , RV, "stretching forward" (AV, "reaching forth"), a metaphor probably from the foot race (rather than the chariot race), so Lightfoot, who quotes Bengel's paraphrase, "the eye goes before and draws on the hand, the hand goes before and draws on the foot."
"to stretch out beyond" (huper, "over," and No. 1), occurs in 2 Corinthians 10:14 , RV, "we stretch (not) ... overmuch" (AV, "... beyond our measure").
Note: For ekpetannumi, Romans 10:21 , see SPREAD , No. 5. For epiballo, Acts 12:1 , see PUT , No. 8.Copyright Statement
