Exegesis
The following clause tis estin ho dous soi tēn exousian tautēn {τίς ἐστιν ὁ δούς σοι τὴν ἐξουσίαν ταύτην | tís es-tin ho doûs soi tēn ex-ou-sí-an taû-tēn} employs a substantival participle ho dous ‘the one who has given’ as the predicate nominative after estin, sharpening the inquiry into the personal agent behind Jesus’ authority. English word order shifts to a more natural “who is it that has given you” construction while preserving the focus on both the kind of authority and the one who confers it.
In context — Luke 20:2
And they said to Him , “Tell us, by what authority You do these things, or who is it that has given You this authority?”
