Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 25:30

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

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 25:29

For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away. And cast ye out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.Dummelow noted that:It is a law of the natural as well as the spiritual world, that the disuse of a faculty finally leads to its complete loss, whereas the due use of it leads to its development and increase.[9]A much more severe... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Matthew 25:28-29

Matthew 25:28-29. Take therefore the talent from him— Thus Christ will strip graceless persons, whether ministers or people, of all the good things he bestowed upon them; and will confer signal blessings on them who are eminently faithful and diligent in the exercise of their gifts and graces, for his glory, and the good of his church. By having, Mat 25:29 is meant improving, or making a right use of a thing. See ch. Matthew 13:10-13. A man is said not to have what he does not make use of:... 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

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 25:3-46

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
