The direct quotation Sy tis ei {Σὺ τίς εἶ | Sý tís eî} ‘You, who are You?’ is fronted for emphasis and reads as an identity challenge rather than a request for information.
In context — John 21:12
Jesus said to them, “Come, eat breakfast.” Yet none of the disciples ventured to ask Him, “Who are You?” knowing He was the Lord .
