Exegesis
The conjunction hoti {ὅτι | hóti} introduces a content clause prefaced by houtōs {οὕτως | hoútōs} ‘thus,’ linking this teaching to Luke’s prior parables.
In context — Luke 15:7
I say to you that in the same way there will be joy in heaven over one sinner who is repenting, more than over ninety-nine righteous persons who have no need of repentance.
