Quotation1
A formal citation — high verbal volume, often introduced by a saying-formula.
The opening of the citation, 'Tell the daughter of Zion, behold...,' is drawn from Isaiah 62:11 ('Say to the daughter of Zion, Behold, your salvation comes') rather than from Zechariah, whose own opening is 'Rejoice greatly.' Matthew blends Isaiah 62:11 with Zechariah 9:9 into a single quotation.
High confidenceAllusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
'Behold, your salvation comes; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.' Twin to Isa 40:10 behind 'My reward is with me, to repay each.' Coherence strong.
