Because you have been trustworthy in a small matter, I am putting you in charge of ten towns.' 18 The second one came and said, ‘Sir, your maneh has earned five more manim; 19 and to this one he said, ‘You be in charge of five towns.' 20 "Then another one came and said, ‘Sir, here is your maneh.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he said likewise to him,.... He commended him as a good and faithful servant, though this is not expressed; and added,
be thou over five cities; which does not denote any inequality of glory in Christ's ministers, who will all shine as the firmament, and as the stars for ever and ever; at least, there will be no inequality in the ultimate state of happiness, when all the saints shall shine as the sun in the kingdom of their Father, whatever there may be in the kingdom state, or in Christ's personal reign with his saints on earth. The above learned writer would have this passage compared with
Isaiah 19:18.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
See the notes at Matthew 25:20-21.
Ten cities - We are not to suppose that this will be âliterallyâ fulfilled in heaven. Christ teaches here that our reward in heaven will be âin proportionâ to our faithfulness in improving our talents on earth.
