Exegesis
The interrogative tis ara houtos estin {Τίς ἄρα οὗτός ἐστιν | Tís ára hoú-tós és-tin} combines the question word with the inferential particle ara ‘then’ to convey reflection, and the demonstrative houtos {οὗτός | hoú-tós} ‘this’ directly points to Jesus as the referent of their inquiry.
In context — Mark 4:41
And they were seized by great fear , and they said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him ?”
