Echo2

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

John 11:45-53

'I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them' parallels Ezekiel 34 in the shepherd-gathers-the-scattered motif behind v.52. Moderate volume, reinforcing the gathering theme; coheres with John's flock/shepherd imagery.

Medium confidence
Col 1:3-8 ?

Jeremiah's promise that the gathered remnant 'shall be fruitful and multiply' fuses the Genesis blessing with restoration hope; Colossians' worldwide fruitful word may stand in this prophetic stream of fruitfulness-as-restoration. Faint and overlapping with the Genesis echoes, hence contested.
