I will sanctify my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in their midst; and the nations shall know that I am Yahweh, says the Lord Yahweh, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes.

Allusion3
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
'I will sanctify my great name... and the nations will know that I am the LORD' — the divine self-hallowing of God's name is the OT engine behind 'hallowed be your name'; God hallows his name by his eschatological act, which the petition invokes.
High confidence'I made known to them your name... that the love... may be in them' (v26) resonates with God's resolve to 'vindicate the holiness of my great name' so the nations know him, paired in Ezekiel with the indwelling Spirit (36:26-27). The hallowing-of-the-Name leading to interior transformation coheres with John's Name-and-indwelling climax; moderate Volume.
Medium confidence"May your name be kept holy" (hallowed be your name) echoes God's promise to sanctify his great name profaned among the nations. The eschatological hallowing of the Name is exactly the petition's force, supplying coherence with the kingdom-come request that follows.
Medium confidenceEcho1
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
"glorify God" through the witness of conduct 'among the nations' (2:12) resonates with Ezekiel 36:23, God sanctifying his name profaned among the nations so that the nations know him; a faint thematic parallel to the vindication-of-the-name motif.
