“He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.”
So they asked him, 'Who is this fellow who told you to pick it up and walk?' — the authorities shift focus from the mat-carrier to the authority figure. The Greek interrogative ti tis (who is this?) suggests they do not yet know Jesus or do not recognize his authority. Their question, while seeking identification, implicitly denies his legitimacy.
