'Glad' in the Bible

Then they were willing to take Him on board the boat, and immediately the boat reached the [shore of the] land to which they were going.

And for your sake I am glad that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”

You heard Me tell you, ‘I am going away, and I am coming back to you.’ If you [really] loved Me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going [back] to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.

A woman, when she is in labor, has pain because her time [to give birth] has come; but when she has given birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of her joy that a child has come into the world.
