Matthew 8:12

Matthew 8:12

10 When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!

11 And I say to you that ^amany will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.

12 But ^athe sons of the kingdom ^bwill be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you.” And his servant was healed that same hour.

Peter’s Mother-in-Law Healed

14 ^aNow when Jesus had come into Peter’s house, He saw ^bhis wife’s mother lying sick with a fever.

15 So He touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she arose and served¹ them.

<< Matthew 8:11

Matthew 8:13 >>

Matthew 8:12 But the children of the kingdom. The Jews, the natural children of Abraham, the "Father of the faithful", heirs of the promises made to him. Cast out. Because they rejected the Messiah, in whom all the promises center. Into outer darkness. The history of the Jews for 1,800 years has been a fulfillment of this passage. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. There is a hint at the wretchedness of a future state of punishment.
