It is often used in the context of spiritual or divine joy, reflecting a deep, overwhelming sense of gladness that transcends ordinary happiness. This joy is typically associated with the presence and work of God, the fulfillment of His promises, or the anticipation of His salvation.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, expressions of joy and exultation were often linked to religious festivals, victories, or significant life events. In the Jewish context, joy was a key component of worship and celebration, especially in relation to God's deliverance and faithfulness. The New Testament usage of "agalliasis" reflects this cultural backdrop, emphasizing joy as a response to God's redemptive acts through Jesus Christ.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 20</b> <i>agallíasis</i> (from <a href="/greek/21.htm">21</a> <i>/agalliáō</i>, "to exalt") – <i>exuberant</i> joy; "<i>intense</i> joy and gladness" (<i>L&N</i>, 1, 25.132; "<i>exultant</i> joy" (<i>WS</i>, 135). <a href="/greek/21.htm">See 21</a> (<i>agalliaō</i>).</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/21.htm">agalliaó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>exultation, exuberant joy<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>gladness (3), great joy (1), joy (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 20: ἀγαλλίασις</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀγαλλίασις</span></span>, <span class="greek2">(εως</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">ἀγαλλιάω</span>), not used by secular writers but often by the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span>; <span class="accented">exultation, extreme joy</span>: <a href="/interlinear/luke/1-14.htm">Luke 1:14, 44</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/2-46.htm">Acts 2:46</a>; <a href="/interlinear/jude/1-24.htm">Jude 1:24</a>; <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/1-9.htm">Hebrews 1:9</a> (from <a href="/interlinear/psalms/44-8.htm">Psalm 44:8</a><FOOTNOTE:10> (<BIBLE/CHAPTER_VERSE:Ps. 45:8>)) oil of gladness with which persons were anointed at feasts (<a href="/interlinear/psalms/23-5.htm">Psalm 23:5</a>), and which the writer, alluding to the inaugural ceremony of anointing, uses as an emblem of the divine power and majesty to which the Son of God has been exalted.<FOOTNOTE:1> <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>gladness, exceeding joy. <p>From <a href="/greek/21.htm">agalliao</a>; exultation; specially, welcome -- gladness, (exceeding) joy. <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/21.htm">agalliao</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>αγαλλιασει αγαλλιάσει ἀγαλλιάσει αγαλλιασεως αγαλλιάσεως ἀγαλλιάσεως αγαλλίασιν αγαλλιασις αγαλλίασις ἀγαλλίασις agalliasei agalliásei agalliaseos agalliaseōs agalliáseos agalliáseōs agalliasis agallíasis<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/luke/1-14.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Luke 1:14</a> <a href="/abbrev.htm" title="Noun -
