SEV Biblia, Chapter 19:19
Y también a éste dijo: Tú también sé sobre cinco ciudades.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 11-27 - This parable is like that of the talents, Mt 25. Those that are calle to Christ, he furnishes with gifts needful for their business; and from those to whom he gives power, he expects service. The manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal, 1Co 12:7. And a every one has received the gift, so let him minister the same, 1P 4:10. The account required, resembles that in the parable of the talents; and the punishment of the avowed enemies of Christ, as well a of false professors, is shown. The principal difference is, that the pound 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 more or less seem to mean that God gives different capacities and advantages to men by which this one gift of the gospel may be differently improved.

Robertson's NT Word Studies
19:19 {Be thou also over} (kai su epano ginou). Present middle imperative. Keep on becoming over. There is no real reason for identifying this parable of the pounds with the parable of the talents in #Mt 25. The versatility of Jesus needs to be remembered by those who seek to flatten out everything.
