'Stretching' in the Bible

then whatever prayer or request is made by any man or all of Your people Israel, each knowing his own suffering and his own pain, and stretching out his hands toward this house,

And stretching out His hand toward His disciples [and all His other followers], He said, “Here are My mother and My brothers!

We are not overstepping the limits of our province, as if we did not [legitimately] reach to you, for we were the [very] first to come even as far as you with the good news of Christ.
