Laugh, Laugh to Scorn:
denotes "to laugh scornfully at," more emphatic than No. 1 (kata, "down," used intensively, and No. 1), and signifies derisive laughter, Mat 9:24; Mar 5:40; Luk 8:53. Cp. ekmukterizo, "to deride."
Note: The laughter of incredulity, as in Gen 17:17; 18:12, is not mentioned in the NT.
