NETBible

Nathanael asked him, “How do you know me?” Jesus replied, 1  “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, 2  I saw you.”

NET Notes

tn Grk “answered and said to him.” This is somewhat redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation to “replied.”

sn Many have speculated about what Nathanael was doing under the fig tree. Meditating on the Messiah who was to come? A good possibility, since the fig tree was used as shade for teaching or studying by the later rabbis (Ecclesiastes Rabbah 5:11). Also, the fig tree was symbolic for messianic peace and plenty (Mic 4:4, Zech 3:10.)
