Contextual Overview
11 As the people were listening to this, Jesus told them a story because he was near Jerusalem and they thought God's kingdom would appear immediately. 12 He said: "A very important man went to a country far away to be made a king and then to return home. 13 So he called ten of his servants and gave a coin to each servant. He said, ‘Do business with this money until I get back.' 14 But the people in the kingdom hated the man. So they sent a group to follow him and say, ‘We don't want this man to be our king.' 15 "But the man became king. When he returned home, he said, ‘Call those servants who have my money so I can know how much they earned with it.' 16 "The first servant came and said, ‘Sir, I earned ten coins with the one you gave me.' 17 The king said to the servant, ‘Excellent! You are a good servant. Since I can trust you with small things, I will let you rule over ten of my cities.' 18 "The second servant said, ‘Sir, I earned five coins with your one.' 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 coin which I wrapped in a piece of cloth and hid.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then came the first,.... Who were set in the first place in the church, the apostles of Christ, and who had the greatest gifts, and laboured more abundantly, and were eminently useful; such an one was the Apostle Paul:
saying, Lord; acknowledging the sovereignty and dominion of Christ over them, owning they were accountable to him, and that he had a right to inquire, what use they had made of their gifts, and what advantages these had produced;
thy pound hath gained ten pounds; it had been increased tenfold; or it has turned to a tenfold account, in the conversion of sinners, in the edification of the saints, and in the advancement of the kingdom, and interest of Christ. This servant owns, that the gifts he had were Christ's; he calls them, "thy pound"; and therefore did not glory in them as his own attainments, or, as if he had received them not; and ascribes the great increase, not to himself, but to the pound itself; to the gifts of Christ, as they were his, and as used by his grace and strength, and as blessed, and owned by him, to these purposes.
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.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Luke 19:16. Lord, thy pound hath gained ten — The principal difference between this parable and that of the talents above referred to is, that the mina given to each seems to point out the gift of the Gospel, which is the same to all who hear it; but the talents distributed in different proportions, according to each man's ability, seem to intimate that God has given different capacities and advantages to men, by which this one gift of the Gospel may be differently improved.
