Contextual Overview
11 As the crowd listened to what he was saying, Jesus went on to tell a story. He was now near Jerusalem and knew that the people thought it was almost time for God's kingdom to come. 12 So he said, "A very important man was preparing to go to a country far away to be made a king. Then he planned to return home and rule his people. 13 So he called ten of his servants together. He gave a bag of money to each servant. He said, ‘Do business with this money until I come back.' 14 But the people in the kingdom hated the man. They sent a group to follow him to the other country. There they said, ‘We don't want this man to be our king.' 15 "But the man was made king. When he came home, he said, ‘Call those servants who have my money. I want to know how much more money they earned with it.' 16 The first servant came and said, ‘Sir, I earned ten bags of money with the one bag you gave me.' 17 The king said to him, ‘That's great! You are a good servant. I see that I can trust you with small things. So now I will let you rule over ten of my cities.' 18 "The second servant said, ‘Sir, with your one bag of money I earned five bags.' 19 The king said to this servant, ‘You can rule over five cities.' 20 "Then another servant came in and said to the king, ‘Sir, here is your bag of money. I wrapped it in a piece of cloth and hid it.

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 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.
