Exegesis
The participial phrase onta hypo tēn sykēn {ὄντα ὑπὸ τὴν συκῆν | ón-ta hy-pò tḕn sy-kên} “being under the fig tree” functions as a circumstantial participle, specifying the situation in which Nathanael was located when Jesus saw him.
In context — John 1:48
Nathanael said to Him, “How do You know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, while you were under the fig tree , I saw you.”
