Where this passage surfaces again, sorted by the strength of the link. Each kind of reuse — formal quotation, deliberate allusion, faint echo, figural pattern — carries its own mark. Follow any reference to read it in place.

Echo1

A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.

John 10:31-39 ?

The consecration of Aaron and his sons to serve the LORD provides cultic resonance for the Father's 'sanctifying' of Jesus, fitting the Dedication setting where the altar itself is consecrated. Faint and competes with the prophetic-commission sense of Jer 1:5.

Low confidence

Figural1

A typological pattern re-read in a later text — no verbal quotation, high figural coherence.

John 17:17-19

'Sanctify them in your truth... for their sakes I sanctify myself' (vv17,19) figures the consecration of Aaron and his sons to priestly service ('anoint them, ordain them, and consecrate them'). The setting-apart-for-sacred-mission language gives the prayer its priestly architecture; coherent and recurrent across vv17-19.
