Matthew 25:30 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 25:30

28 Therefore take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents.

29 ^a‘For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.

30 And cast the unprofitable servant ^ainto the outer darkness. ^bThere will be weeping and ^cgnashing of teeth.’

The Son of Man Will Judge the Nations

31 ^a“When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the¹ holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory.

32 ^aAll the nations will be gathered before Him, and ^bHe will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats.

33 And He will set the ^asheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left.

34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, ^ainherit the kingdom ^bprepared for you from the foundation of the world:

35 ^afor I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; ^bI was a stranger and you took Me in;

36 I was ^anaked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; ^bI was in prison and you came to Me.’

37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink?

38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You?

39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’

40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, ^ainasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’

41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ^a‘Depart from Me, you cursed, ^binto the everlasting fire prepared for ^cthe devil and his angels:

42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink;

43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’

44 “Then they also will answer¹ Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’

45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, ^ainasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’

46 And ^athese will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
