Context of Matthew 25:30
28Take ye away therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him that hath the ten talents. 29For 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. 31But when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory: 32and before him shall be gathered all the nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats;

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 30And cast - See the notes at Matthew 8:12. The spiritual meaning of the parable may be thus summed up: 1.The servants of God are not all endowed with equal gifts and talents. 2.All, whatever may be their ability, are bound to employ their talents in promoting his honor, and in a proper improvement of them. 3.By employing their talents in a proper manner, they improve and strengthen them. 4.They will be judged according to the improvements which they have…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 14-30Verses 14-30 Christ keeps no servants to be idle: they have received their all from him, and have nothing they can call their own but sin. Our receiving from Christ is in order to our working for him. The manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. The day of account comes at last. We must all be reckoned with as to what good we have got to our own souls, and have done to others, by the advantages we have enjoyed. It is not meant…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 14-30This parable teaches that the Lord expects his servants to be faithful to the task given to them while waiting for his return. The delay of Christ’s return will cause some to do evil things (Matthew 24:48–49), some to become inactive (25:3), and others may become fearfully passive (25:18).Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 3030. 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 Mt 22:13. there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth--See on Mt 13:42. The close connection between this sublime scene--peculiar to Matthew--and the two preceding parables is too obvious to need pointing out.Read the comment
