Contextual Overview

¹¹ And when they heard these things, he proceeded to utter a similitude; because he was near to Jerusalem, and they supposed that the kingdom of God was to be soon developed. ¹² And he said: A certain man of high birth was going to a distant place, to obtain royalty, and return again. ¹³ And he called his ten servants, and gave them ten pounds: and he said to them, Traffic until I come. ¹⁴ But the inhabitants of his city hated him; and they sent envoys after him, saying: We wish this man not to reign over us. ¹⁵ And when he had obtained the royalty, and had returned, he commanded those servants to be called, to whom he had committed his money; that he might know what each of them had gained by trading. ¹⁶ And the first came, and said: My Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. ¹⁷ He said to him: Well done, good servant! As thou hast been faithful over a little, thou shalt have authority over ten towns. ¹⁸ And the second came, and said: My lord, thy pound hath produced five pounds. ¹⁹ He said likewise to him: Thou also shalt have authority over five towns. ²⁰ And another came, and said: My lord, lo, this is thy pound, which hath been with me, laid up in fine linen.

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.
