Exegesis
The content clause introduced by hoti {ὅτι | hó-ti} functions as the object of the knowing, and within it the prepositional phrase dia phthonon {διὰ φθόνον | diá phthó-non} ‘because of envy’ is placed early, foregrounding the motive of the religious leaders.
In context — Mark 15:10
For he knew that it was because of envy that the chief priests had handed Him over.
