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

Mark 7:6-13

The paired citation 'He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death' quotes the capital statute of Exodus 21:17, reinforcing the gravity of the command being voided. Mark's wording tracks the LXX (kakologon). High volume and direct verbal correspondence.
