STRONGS G21:
ἀγαλλιάω, -ῶ, and -άομαι, (but the active is not used except in Luke 1:47 [ἠγαλλίασα], in Revelation 19:7 [ἀγαλλιῶμεν] L T Tr WH [and in 1 Peter 1:8 WH Tr marginal reading (ἀγαλλιᾶτε), cf. WH Appendix, p. 169]); 1 aorist ἠγαλλιασάμην, and (with a middle significance) ἠγαλλιάθην (John 5:35; Rec. ἠγαλλιάσθην); a word of Hellenistic coinage (from ἀγάλλομαι to rejoice, glory [yet cf. Buttmann, 51 (45)]), often in Sept.

This divine promise was fulfilled to him at length in paradise; cf. Winers Grammar, 339 (318); B. 239 (206). On this word see Gelpke in the Studien und Kritiken for 1849, p. 645f.
