Contextual Overview

¹¹ The crowd was still listening to Jesus as he was getting close to Jerusalem. Many of them thought that God's kingdom would soon appear, ¹² and Jesus told them this story: A prince once went to a foreign country to be crowned king and then to return. ¹³ But before leaving, he called in ten servants and gave each of them some money. He told them, "Use this to earn more money until I get back." ¹⁴ But the people of his country hated him, and they sent messengers to the foreign country to say, "We don't want this man to be our king." ¹⁵ After the prince had been made king, he returned and called in his servants. He asked them how much they had earned with the money they had been given. ¹⁶ The first servant came and said, "Sir, with the money you gave me I have earned ten times as much." ¹⁷ "That's fine, my good servant!" the king said. "Since you have shown that you can be trusted with a small amount, you will be given ten cities to rule." ¹⁸ The second one came and said, "Sir, with the money you gave me, I have earned five times as much." ¹⁹ The king said, "You will be given five cities." ²⁰ Another servant came and said, "Sir, here is your money.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the second came,.... He who was next, though less useful, yet equally diligent and active:

saying, Lord; acknowledging also the power and authority of Christ over him:

thy pound hath gained five pounds; is increased fivefold, or is turned to a fivefold account, to the interest of Christ, and good of immortal souls: the usefulness of the ministers of the Gospel is not alike; as they have gifts different one from another, so their improvements are different, and their labours, though faithful, do not turn to the same account,

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See the notes at Matthew 25:20-21.

Ten cities - We are not to suppose that this will be “literally” fulfilled in heaven. Christ teaches here that our reward in heaven will be “in proportion” to our faithfulness in improving our talents on earth.
