Connecting Statement:
Jesus finishes telling his parable. This is the end of the story that began in Luke 12:1.
If it bears fruit next year, good
It may be helpful to state what will happen. Alternate translation: "If it has figs on it next year, we can allow it to keep growing" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-ellipsis)
cut it down
The servant was making a suggestion; he was not giving a command to the owner. Alternate translation: "Tell me to cut it down" or "I will cut it down"
