Allusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
'Your request has been heard' echoes Eli's word to Hannah, 'the God of Israel grant your petition that you have asked' (1 Samuel 1:17), followed by the granting of the longed-for son. The petition-heard motif coheres with the Hannah substratum that drives the Magnificat.

A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
'Go in peace' is the stock Hebrew dismissal-blessing (cf. Exodus 4:18; Judges 18:6); the jailer's 'go in peace' to the released prisoners carries this benedictory idiom. Lexical formula only.
