"joy, delight" (akin to A, No. 1 above), is rendered "gladness" in the AV of Mark 4:16; Acts 12:14; Philippians 2:29 (RV "joy," as elsewhere in both versions). See JOY.

"exultation, exuberant joy" (akin to A, No. 2), is translated "gladness" in Luke 1:14; Acts 2:6; Hebrews 1:9; "joy" in Luke 1:44; "exceeding joy" in Jude 1:24 . It indicates a more exultant "joy" than No. 1. In the Sept. this word is found chiefly in the Psalms, where it denotes "joy" in God's redemptive work, e.g., Psalm 30:5; 42:4; 45:7,15 . See JOY.

"good cheer, joy, mirth, gladness of heart" (akin to A, No. 3), from eu, "well," and phren, "the mind," is rendered "gladness" in Acts 2:28 , RV (AV, "joy") and Acts 14:17 . See JOY.
