Possibly a faulty washer, if this is the case, you can try and re-seat the tap or just replace the washer completely.

Alternatively, if the tap is fairly old, the packing glad/packing nut maybe leaking, in this case you can attempt to solve that by wrapping PTFE around the gland thread. Failing that, replace the the part for a matching one.

The hot water supply valve you turned off to allow you to cut into the hot water pipe is still turned off. This valve was probably an old gat typr valve that failed in the closed position and although the handle moved the mechanism insid did not. This is a common failure with that type of valve.
