And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
All Commentaries on Matthew 24:51 Go To Matthew 24
Hilary of Poitiers
AD 368
Though the Lord had given above a general exhortation to all in common to unwearied vigilance, yet He adds a special charge to the rulers of the people, that is, the Bishops, of watchfulness in looking for His coming. Such He callsa faithful servant, and wise master of the household, careful for the needs and interests of the people entrusted to Him.
That is, obedient to his Lord’s command, by the seasonableness of his teaching dispensing the word of life to a household which is to be nourished for the food of eternity.
Or, “shall set him over all his goods,” that is, shall place him in the glory of God, because beyond this is nothing better.
