And will cut him in pieces and put him with the hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. The severe judgment on the wicked servant — cut in pieces, placed with the hypocrites, weeping and gnashing of teeth — communicates the eschatological consequence of the unfaithful use of the time before the master's return. The hypocrites who are the wicked servant's companions in judgment are the same hypocrites of Matthew 23: those whose outward religious profession does not correspond to inner faithfulness.
