1.2 KiB
Connecting Statement:
Jesus concludes his parable about a marriage feast.
Bind this man hand and foot
"Tie him up so that he cannot move his hands or feet"
the outer darkness
Here "outer darkness" is a metonym for the place where God sends those who reject them. This is a place that is completely separated from God forever. See how you translated this in Matthew 8:12. AT: "the dark place away from God" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy)
weeping and the grinding of teeth
"Grinding of teeth" is symbolic action, representing extreme sadness and suffering. See how you translated this in Matthew 8:12. AT: "weeping and expressing their extreme suffering" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-symaction)
For many people are called, but few are chosen
This can be stated in active form. AT: "For God invites many people, but he only chooses a few" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)

This marks a transition. Jesus has ended the parable and will now explain the point of the parable.
