Contextual Overview

11And while they are hearing these things, having added He spoke an allegory, because of His being near to Jerusalem, and of their thinking that the Kingdom of God is immediately about to appear. 12He therefore said, "A certain man of birth went on to a far country, to take to himself a kingdom, and to return, 13and having called ten servants of his own, he gave ten minas to them and said to them, Do business—until I come; 14and his citizens were hating him, and sent a delegation after him, saying, We do not wish this one to reign over us. 15And it came to pass, on his coming back, having taken the kingdom, that he commanded these servants to be called to him, to whom he gave the money, that he might know what anyone had done in business. 16And the first came near, saying, Lord, your mina gained ten minas; 17and he said to him, Well done, good servant, because you became faithful in a very little, be having authority over ten cities. 18And the second came, saying, Lord, your mina made five minas;19and he also said to this one, And you, become [ruler] over five cities. 20And another came, saying, Lord, behold, your mina, that I had lying away in a napkin;

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.
