Exegesis
The speech report eipan autō {εἶπαν αὐτῷ | eî-pan au-tō} introduces direct address, and the following interrogative clause pou estin ekeinos {Ποῦ ἐστιν ἐκεῖνος | Poû estin e-keî-nos} places the question of location at the front for emphasis.
The demonstrative ekeinos {ἐκεῖνος | e-keî-nos} is deliberately pointed; in context it refers back to Jesus, and the translation preserves that reference without forcing it into the main line.
