Echo2

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

Mark 14:32-42 ?

Jonah's 'I am angry enough to die' (lit. 'sorrowful unto death') supplies a verbal precedent for Jesus being grieved 'even to death.' The phrase 'unto death' as an intensifier of grief makes this a plausible secondary verbal echo, though Jonah's resentment differs sharply from Jesus' obedient sorrow.

Medium confidence
Matt 26:36-46 ?

'I am angry enough to die' / sorrowful unto death offers a parallel to the 'sorrowful even to death' idiom of v38.
