Jerome

Commentary on Matthew (420)

(Verse 13) Then the king said to the servants: Bind his hands and feet and send him into the outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. The hands and feet being bound, the weeping of the eyes, and the gnashing of teeth, signify the truth of the resurrection being tested. Or certainly, the hands and feet are bound so that they may not do evil and run to shed blood. In the weeping of the eyes and the gnashing of teeth, the intensity of the torments is shown metaphorically through the limbs of the body.

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

Damned sinners are bound hand and foot by an irreversible sentence; this signifies the same with the fixing of the great gulf; they can neither resist nor outrun their punishment. (2.) He is ordered to be carried off from the wedding feast; When the wickedness of hypocrites appears, they are to be taken away from the communion of the faithful, to be cut of as withered branches.

Cast him into outer darkness - See the notes at Mat 8:12. This, without doubt, refers to the future punishment of the hypocrite, Mat 23:23-33; Mat 24:51.
