Usage: The verb παρατείνω (parateinó) is used in the New Testament to convey the idea of extending or prolonging something. It can refer to the physical act of stretching out or extending an object or metaphorically to prolonging time or an event. The term suggests an intentional action to make something last longer or reach further.
