Exegesis
The vocative kurie {Κύριε | ký-ri-e} ‘Lord’ frames the question as reverent address, and the compressed interrogative tis estin {τίς ἐστιν | tís é-stin} ‘who is it’ leaves the identity unspoken, creating suspense and relying on the surrounding discourse for the referent.
In context — John 13:25
That one, having reclined thus upon the chest of Jesus , says to Him, “Lord , who is it?”
