Exegesis
The verse opens with the circumstantial participle anapeson {ἀναπεσών | a-na-pe-sṓn} ‘having reclined,’ which supplies the posture before the speech event and sets the scene as background action.
In context — John 13:25
That one, having reclined thus upon the chest of Jesus , says to Him, “Lord , who is it?”
