The source

He shall make a firm covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the offering to cease; and on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate; and even to the full end, and that determined, shall wrath be poured out on the desolate.

Quotation2

A formal citation — high verbal volume, often introduced by a saying-formula.

Mark 13:14-20

'The abomination of desolation' is a formal citation, named as 'spoken of by Daniel the prophet.' Daniel 9:27's 'abomination that makes desolate' upon the wing of the temple is the source phrase; Mark's masculine participle 'standing where it ought not' personalizes the desolator. The highest-volume Danielic anchor of the discourse.

High confidence
Matt 24:15-22

'the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet' is an explicit, attributed citation; Daniel 9:27 reads that 'on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate' (LXX bdelygma ton eremoseon), the precise phrase Jesus quotes.

High confidence

Allusion1

A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.

2 Thess 2:3-4

The covenant-breaker who sets the abomination on a wing of the temple feeds the temple-defilement element of Paul's portrait of the man of lawlessness.
