Exegesis
The direct object is the articular accusative ton Iesoun {τὸν Ἰησοῦν | tòn Iē-soûn}, followed by the interrogative clause tis estin {τίς ἐστιν | tís es-tín} “who is,” which frames the question of identity.
In context — Luke 19:3
And he was trying to see who Jesus was, but the crowd kept him from it, because he was small in stature .
