For the Ozark episode, see Outer Darkness (Ozark).
In Christianity, the "exterior darkness" or outer darkness (Greek: τὸ σκότος τὸ ἐξώτερον, romanized: to skotos to exōteron) is a place referred to three times in the Gospel of Matthew (8:12, 22:13, and 25:30) into which a person may be "cast out", and where there is "weeping and gnashing of teeth". Generally, the outer darkness is thought to be hell; however, many Christians associate the outer darkness more generally as a place of separation from God or from the metaphorical "wedding banquet" that Jesus is expected to have upon his Second Coming.
