Exegesis
The first hoti {ὅτι | hóti} introduces the content of Jesus’ prediction as an object clause: Pantes skandalisthesesthe {Πάντες σκανδαλισθήσεσθε | Pántes skandalisthḗsesthe}, where Pantes ‘all’ is fronted for emphasis, and the future passive verb highlights that their stumbling is something that will happen to them rather than a purely deliberate choice.
The second hoti {ὅτι | hóti} introduces the causal ground for this prediction: gegraptai {γέγραπται | gégraptai} ‘it has been written’, a formula for authoritative Scripture citation.
In context — Mark 14:27
And Jesus said to them, “All of you will be caused to stumble, because it is written: ‘I will strike the shepherd , and the sheep will be scattered.’”
