Allusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
'Take counsel together, but it will come to nothing; speak a word, but it will not stand, for God is with us' directly parallels Gamaliel's 'if this counsel is of men it will be overthrown, but if of God you cannot overthrow it' (vv. 38-39).
Medium confidenceEcho1
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
'God is with us' (LXX 'meth' hemon ho theos') in Isa 8:10 supplies the very wording of Matthew's translation of Immanuel (v.23). Parallel precursor to 8:8; together they ground Matthew's editorial gloss.
