Echo2

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

Acts 15:12-21 ?

'Moses... read in the synagogues every Sabbath' (v.21) presupposes the Sabbath institution as the appointed day of holy convocation. Faint, institutional background to the verse.

Low confidence
Luke 14:1-6 ?

The Sabbath-rest command framing the whole conflict ('Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?') stands behind the scene; the dropsy healing is staged precisely against the holy-convocation rest prescription. Faint and diffuse — the Sabbath law is assumed background rather than cited.
