The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 25:30

Cast ye the unprofitable servant into [ the ] outer darkness ( Matthew 8:12 ). The parable merges into the real. The 'matter represented bursts through the veil under which it was delivered, and stands forth plainly and awfully. The command is issued to the ministers of the Lord's vengeance, whether earthly or angelic. The slave was truly unprofitable, as he advanced neither his master's interests nor his own, which were bound up with the other. While the faithful servants enter into... read more

And cast ... - See the notes at Matthew 8:12. The spiritual meaning of the parable may be thus summed up:The servants of God are not all endowed with equal gifts and talents. All, whatever may be their ability, are bound to employ their talents in promoting his honor, and in a proper improvement of them. By employing their talents in a proper manner, they improve and strengthen them. They will be judged according to the improvements which they have made. All sinners look on God as a hard... read more

Matthew 25:30 . And cast ye the unprofitable servant Who has so wickedly abused my goodness; into outer darkness The darkness which is without the heavenly city, even the horrible darkness of hell. There, instead of the light and joy possessed by those who are admitted to the marriage- supper of the Lamb, shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth Through the worm that dieth not, and the fire that is not quenched. There shall be the weeping of the careless, thoughtless sinner, and the ... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Matthew 25:14-30

134. The three employees (Matthew 25:14-30)In the second story, a businessman who went away on a journey left his business in the care of three trusted employees. He gave money to the three men, the amounts they received varying according to their business abilities. Two of the men worked well and made good profits, but the third was lazy and did nothing (Matthew 25:14-18).When the owner returned, he was pleased to see that the first two men had worked well, and he rewarded them by giving them... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Matthew 25:30

Matthew 25:30. And cast ye the unprofitable servant, &c.— This punishment must have been greatly embittered to him by the happier lot of his fellow-servants, who were highly applauded for their diligence, and gladdened with the prospect of their reward. See on ch. Matthew 8:12. In this parable, by the man travelling into a far country, is represented to us our Saviour, who is said to do so, either in reference to his ascent into heaven, or to that long-sufferance of his, whereby he waiteth... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Matthew 25:30

30. 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 :-. there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth—See on :-. :-. THE LAST JUDGMENT. The close connection between this sublime scene—peculiar to Matthew—and the two preceding parables is too obvious to need pointing out. read more

VI. THE OFFICIAL PRESENTATION AND REJECTION OF THE KING 19:3-25:46This section of the Gospel continues Jesus’ instruction of His disciples in preparation for their future (Matthew 19:3 to Matthew 20:34). Then Jesus presented Himself formally to Israel as her King with His triumphal entry (Matthew 21:1-17). This resulted in strong rejection by Israel’s leaders (Matthew 21:18 to Matthew 22:46). Consequently Jesus pronounced His rejection of Israel (ch. 23). Finally He revealed to His disciples... read more

The parable of the talents 25:14-30The other important quality that will make a servant blessed when Jesus returns, in addition to prudence, is faithfulness (cf. Matthew 24:45-46). This parable explains what Jesus regards as faithfulness. Essentially it involves using what God has entrusted to one to advance His interests in the world. It involves making a spiritual profit with the deposit God has entrusted to each disciple (cf. James 2:14-26). The parable of the ten virgins speaks of... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 25:28-30

Rather than giving this servant increased responsibility, the master took back the talent he had entrusted to him. Rather than blessing him with the joy of fellowship with the master, the slave had to depart from his master’s presence. Matthew 25:29 expresses a kingdom principle that Jesus had formerly explained (Matthew 13:12; cf. Matthew 21:43). The master removed the slave’s opportunity to serve him further. He declared him "worthless" (Matthew 25:30) because he had failed to do his master’s... read more
