Exegesis
The interrogative tis {Τίς | tís} ‘who’ frames the first question about identity, “Who is this one,” with houtos {οὗτος | hoûtos} deictically pointing to Jesus.
In context — Luke 5:21
And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, “Who is this one who speaks blasphemies ? Who can forgive sins except God alone?”
