Exoteros describes the darkness into which people are cast in the three attested passages.

The attested use marks the darkness named as the destination of those cast out: Matthew 8:12, Matthew 22:13, and Matthew 25:30 place the same accusative singular neuter comparative form with darkness in expulsion clauses.

1. Darkness as the destination of expulsion · dominant

   In Matthew 8:12 the form occurs in the clause where the sons of the kingdom are thrown into darkness; in Matthew 22:13, after the man's hands and feet are bound, the APB renders the destination as "the outer darkness." Matthew 25:30 likewise places the form with darkness as the place into which the worthless slave is thrown.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across Matthew 8:12, Matthew 22:13, and Matthew 25:30, the APB presents the phrase as "the outer darkness." This wording confirms the clause's overall destination rather than isolating the term independently.
