Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
And cast ye--cast ye out. the unprofitable servant--the useless servant, that does his Master no service. into outer darkness--the darkness which is outside. On this expression see on Mat 22:13. there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth--See on Mat 13:42.
John Gill Bible Commentary
And cast ye the unprofitable servant,.... All the servants of Christ are unprofitable with respect to God; for no man can be profitable to him, as he that is wise may be profitable to himself, or others; or in a way of merit, since when they have done the most and best, they have done but their duty: but this man was unprofitable with respect to himself, having not improved the gift and talent bestowed on him; and with respect to men, being of no use for the conversion of sinners, or the comfort of saints, or the edifying of the body of Christ; and brought no honour to his master, and was of no service for the spreading of his Gospel, and the enlargement of his kingdom and interest; and therefore, as one good for nothing, the ministering angels are bid to take him, and cast him into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth: he shall be turned out of doors into outer darkness, to be a companion of other unhappy creatures; who are also without, bewailing their miserable condition, and reflecting on their past conduct; whilst faithful, diligent, and laborious servants will be within, partaking of a rich entertainment, prepared by their Lord, accompanied with joy unspeakable, and full of glory: See Gill on Mat 8:12.
Matthew 25:30
The Parable of the Talents
29For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. But the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.30And throw that worthless servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
