Exegesis
The conjunction kai {καὶ | kaí} links this clause sequentially to prior context, and the participle idontes {ἰδόντες | idóntes} ‘having seen’ establishes temporal background for the main verb ethaumasan {ἐθαύμασαν | ethaúmasan} ‘they marveled’.
In context — Matthew 21:20
And when the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree wither so quickly?”
