This phrase indicates divine authority and the execution of God's will. The king's command reflects the seriousness of the situation and the importance of obedience to God's instructions.Tie him hand and foot This phrase signifies complete restraint and the inability to act or escape. It symbolizes the finality of judgment and the totality of the sinner's helplessness. In biblical times, binding someone was a common practice for prisoners, indicating that the person is under judgment and has no freedom.and throw him into the outer darkness The "outer darkness" is a metaphor for separation from God, often interpreted as hell or eternal damnation. In Jewish culture, darkness was associated with chaos and evil, contrasting with the light of God's presence. This phrase emphasizes the severity of being cast away from God's kingdom and the consequences of rejecting His invitation.where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth This expression is frequently used in the New Testament to describe the anguish and regret of those who face eternal judgment. Weeping indicates sorrow and despair, while gnashing of teeth suggests anger and frustration. It underscores the reality of eternal punishment and the emotional torment of those who are excluded from God's presence. This imagery is consistent with other biblical passages that describe the fate of the unrighteous, such as in <a href="/matthew/8-12.htm">Matthew 8:12</a> and <a href="/matthew/25-30.htm">Matthew 25:30</a>.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/t/the_king.htm">The King</a> Represents God the Father in the parable of the wedding banquet.

They are not preachers, but the guards of the throne, meaning probably the ministering angels who execute the King's commands (see ch. 13:41.49). Bind him hand and foot. By hand and foot men sin, by these they are punished. All hope of escape is thus removed. There is no trial; the offence is too gross and evident to need any further examination; the sentence is at once passed and carried out. He who Strives against God is helpless, and immediately condemned. Take him away. The offender is thus deprived of all good. This clause is omitted by most authorities, and has probably been introduced into the received text with the view of explaining the stages and progress of the ejectment. (The) outer darkness. Far away from the glory and brightness of the banquet into the gloom and blackness of the outer world, which represents the misery of lost souls (see ch. 8:12, where the same expressions occur). "There are no longer feet to run to God's mercy or to flee from his justice; no longer hands to do good or make amends for evil; no longer saving light, whereby to know God or one's own duties. Nothing but darkness, pain, grief, tears, rage, fury, and despair, for him who is not in the wedding hall. This is the fruit of sin, and especially of the abuse of faith and grace" (Quesnel). <a href="/commentaries/matthew/22-13.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>Then Τότε (Tote) Adverb <a href="/greek/strongs_5119.htm">Strong's 5119: </a> Then, at that time.
