Contextual Overview
11 While the people were listening to these things, Jesus proceeded to tell a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God was going to appear immediately. 12 Therefore he said, "A nobleman went to a distant country to receive for himself a kingdom and then return. 13 And he summoned ten of his slaves, gave them ten minas, and said to them, ‘Do business with these until I come back.' 14 But his citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We do not want this man to be king over us!' 15 When he returned after receiving the kingdom, he summoned these slaves to whom he had given the money. He wanted to know how much they had earned by trading. 16 So the first one came before him and said, ‘Sir, your mina has made ten minas more.' 17 And the king said to him, ‘Well done, good slave! Because you have been faithful in a very small matter, you will have authority over ten cities.' 18 Then the second one came and said, ‘Sir, your mina has made five minas.' 19 So the king said to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.' 20 Then another slave came and said, ‘Sir, here is your mina that I put away for safekeeping in a piece of cloth.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he said likewise to him,.... He commended him as a good and faithful servant, though this is not expressed; and added,
be thou over five cities; which does not denote any inequality of glory in Christ's ministers, who will all shine as the firmament, and as the stars for ever and ever; at least, there will be no inequality in the ultimate state of happiness, when all the saints shall shine as the sun in the kingdom of their Father, whatever there may be in the kingdom state, or in Christ's personal reign with his saints on earth. The above learned writer would have this passage compared with
Isaiah 19:18.
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.
