Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Then said the king to the servants - the angelic ministers of divine vengeance (as in Matthew 13:41).
Bind him hand and foot (putting it out of his power to resist), and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; х eis (G1519) to (G3588) skotos (G4655) to (G3588) exooteron (G1857)]. So Matthew 8:12; Matthew 25:30. The expression is emphatic-`The darkness which is outside.' To be 'outside' at all-or, in the language of Revelation 22:15, to be 'without' the heavenly city х exoo (G1854)], excluded from its joyous nuptials and gladsome festivities-is sad enough of itself, without anything else. But to find themselves not only excluded from the brightness and glory and joy and felicity of the kingdom above, but thrust into a region of "darkness," with all its horrors, this is the dismal retribution here announced, that awaits the unworthy at the great day.
[There], [ ekei (G1563 ) - in that region and condition], shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. See the note at Matthew 13:42,
