# 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](../08/12.md). Alternate translation: "the dark place away from God" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/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](../08/12.md). Alternate translation: "weeping and expressing their extreme suffering"  (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-symaction]])
