Then the king said to his servants, ‘Tie him up, hand and foot, and throw him into [a place of] outer darkness where there will be crying and excruciating pain.’
But the children who [are supposed to] belong to the kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness where there will be crying and excruciating pain.”
