Exegesis
The participle legousa {λέγουσα | lé-gou-sa} conveys the communal voice of the city, introducing the direct question Tis estin houtos {Τίς ἐστιν οὗτος | Tís e-s-tin hoû-tos}. English renders the temporal and passive constructions into a natural narrative sequence, preserving the sense of dramatic entry and communal reaction.
In context — Matthew 21:10
And when He entered into Jerusalem, the whole city was shaken, saying, “Who is this?”
