Charles Ellicott Commentary Matthew 24:51

"and shall cut him asunder, and appoint his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth." — Matthew 24:51 (ASV)

And shall cut him asunder — Here also, as in the case of the faithful servant, the words have more than one fulfillment. This form of punishment—one that, in its literal sense, belongs to the inventive cruelty of Eastern kings—seems to have been chosen here for its figurative fitness. The man had been a hypocrite, double-minded, trying to serve two masters, and his Lord, with the sharp sword of judgment, cuts through the false, apparent unity of his life and reveals its duplicity.

There shall be weeping — As elsewhere, the weeping and the gnashing.
