Allusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
Paul preaches boldly in the synagogue until some are hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way; Ezekiel is told the house of Israel will not listen because they are hard of forehead and stubborn of heart. The hardened-hearer motif of the prophet's rejected word is strongly coherent (Volume: shared hardening/refusal language; Recurrence: Luke uses Israel-hardening as a structuring theme in Acts; Coherence: high).
Medium confidenceEcho1
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
The Lord's warning 'they will not receive testimony concerning me from you' (v18) reproduces Ezekiel's sending to a people who 'will not be willing to listen to you' — the prophet rejected by his own. Thematic and near-verbal.
