Allusion2

A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.

Luke 11:1-4 ?

"They will sanctify my name... and stand in awe of the God of Israel" supplies the human-side counterpart of the hallowing petition. Combined with Ezekiel 36:23 this gives recurrence of the sanctify-the-Name motif in the prophets, the petition's most available source.

Medium confidence
Matt 6:9-13

'They will sanctify my name... and stand in awe of the God of Israel' — sanctifying/hallowing the divine Name as eschatological hope, the conceptual root of the first petition.

Medium confidence

Echo2

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

Eph 2:10 ?

'The work of my hands... they will sanctify my name' resonates with believers as God's 'workmanship... for good works.' Isaiah's restoration-as-recreation theme coheres with Paul's eschatological new making.

Low confidence
Matt 15:29-31 ?

'They will sanctify... the God of Israel' — the crowd's response 'they glorified the God of Israel' (15:31) echoes Isaiah 29's promised honoring of Israel's God, reversing the lip-service of 15:8-9.
