Because, in a very small thing, thou hast been, faithful, have thou authority over, ten cities. ¹⁸ And the second came, saying - Thy mina, lord, hath made five minas. ¹⁹ And he said, to him also, And, thou, be over five cities. ²⁰ And, the other, came, saying - Lord, lo! thy mina, which I kept lying by 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.
