Exegesis
The indefinite pronoun tis {τις | tis} ‘anyone’ with the dative pronoun humin {ὑμῖν | hū-mīn} ‘to you’ sets up the interlocutor, and the aorist subjunctive eipe {εἴπῃ | eí-pē} ‘might say’ expresses contingency, followed by the future indicative ereite {ἐρεῖτε | e-reî-te} ‘you will say’ issuing the directive.
In context — Matthew 21:3
And if anyone says anything to you, you shall reply, “The Lord has need of them,” and he will send them immediately.
