Exegesis
The aorist participle parakypsas {παρακύψας | parakýpsas} “having stooped down” functions adverbially, giving the circumstance and temporal background for the main finite verb blepei {βλέπει | blépei} “he sees.” The use of the present tense in blepei is a historical present, giving vividness to the description as if the reader is watching the scene unfold.
In context — John 20:5
And, having stooped down , he saw the linen cloths lying there, yet he did not go in .
