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.
