Exegesis
The hoti clause {ὅτι πολλάκις συνήχθη Ἰησοῦς ἐκεῖ μετὰ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ | ho-ti pol-la-kis sy-nē-chthē Iē-soūs e-kei me-ta tōn ma-thē-tōn au-tou} explains why Judas knew the place.
The subject Iesous {Ἰησοῦς | Iē-soūs} appears after the verb in typical narrative style, ekei {ἐκεῖ | e-kei} specifies the location, and meta tōn mathētōn autou {μετὰ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ | me-ta tōn ma-thē-tōn au-tou} highlights companionship and the shared setting that made the place familiar to Judas.
