Exegesis
The interrogative tina {Τίνα | tí-na} stands first in the question for emphasis, while zeteite {ζητεῖτε | zē-tei-te} in the present tense portrays an ongoing search rather than a completed act.
In context — John 18:7
Then He put the question to them again, “Whom are you in search of?” They replied, “Jesus the Nazarene .”
