'Joy' in the Bible

And the one sown on rocky ground—this is one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy.

“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure, buried in a field, that a man found and reburied. Then in his joy he goes and sells everything he has and buys that field.

“His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful slave! You were faithful over a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Share your master’s joy!’

“His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful slave! You were faithful over a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Share your master’s joy!’

So, departing quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, they ran to tell His disciples the news.
