Allusion2

A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.

Luke 11:37-44

"The tithe... of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD's" supplies the legal basis the Pharisees scrupulously extend to mint and rue. The tithing command is the practice being weighed against neglected justice in 11:42.

Matt 23:23-28

Echo1

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

Mark 12:41-44 ?

The treasury-offering setting and the contrast between giving from abundance versus giving all evoke the Torah's regulation of dedicated gifts and tithes. The widow's total gift outdoes proportional giving, implicitly measuring devotion against the cultic baseline of the tithe.
