Commentary on Matthew 25:30

Theological / Devotional

Cast ye. The “unprofitable servant” had been derelict in his duty, a fact he freely admitted. His failure was deliberate and premeditated, and he must bear the responsibility for that failure. In the great final day of judgment those who have drifted along, dodging opportunities and shirking responsibilities, will be classed by the great Judge with evildoers (COT 365).

Unprofitable. Or, “useless,” “worthless.”

Outer darkness. See on chs. 8:12; 22:13.

Weeping and gnashing of teeth. Compare chs. 8:12; 22:13; 24:51. Jesus repeated this saying upon numerous occasions, as a graphic description of the remorse of the lost.
