Exegesis
The conjunction hoti {ὅτι | hó-ti} introduces a second causal clause, hoti engys en to mnemeion {ὅτι ἐγγὺς ἦν τὸ μνημεῖον | hó-ti eng-gýs ên tó mnē-meî-on}, which gives a practical reason for the choice of burial place: the tomb was nearby.
In context — John 19:42
Therefore, because of the day of Preparation of the Jews, since the tomb was near, they placed Jesus there.
