Exegesis
The clause tis estin {τίς ἐστιν | tís é-stin} is a direct interrogative embedded as the object of “knew,” preserving the man’s uncertainty about the healer’s identity.
In context — John 5:13
But the one who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away, since there was a crowd in that place.
