'Joy' in the Bible

When they saw the star, the sight filled them with intense joy.

He who has received the seed on the rocky ground is the man who hears the Message and immediately receives it with joy.

"The Kingdom of the Heavens is like treasure buried in the open country, which a man finds, but buries again, and, in his joy about it, goes and sells all he has and buys that piece of ground.

"'You have done well, good and trustworthy servant,' replied his master; 'you have been trustworthy in the management of a little, I will put you in charge of much: share your master's joy.'

"'Good and trustworthy servant, you have done well,' his master replied; 'you have been trustworthy in the management of a little, I will put you in charge of much: share your master's joy.'

They quickly left the tomb and ran, still terrified but full of unspeakable joy, to carry the news to His disciples.
