But to you who fear my name shall the sun of righteousness arise with healing in its wings. You will go out, and leap like calves of the stall.

Allusion3
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
'The dawn (anatole) from on high will visit us, to shine on those who sit in darkness' draws on Malachi 4:2, 'the sun of righteousness shall rise, with healing in its wings.' The rising-light-of-salvation imagery, distinctive and eschatological, gives high volume to the anatole metaphor.
High confidenceMalachi's promise that 'the sun of righteousness shall rise with healing in its wings (kanaph)' uses the same word as the garment's 'fringe/corner,' a wordplay long read here: healing flows from the hem of the messianic figure. Coherence is strong though the link rests on the kanaph double sense.
Medium confidence'The sun of righteousness shall arise with healing in its wings (hem/corners),' a promise of eschatological healing associated with the garment's corners/wings. The crowds healed by touching Jesus' garment-fringe evoke this healing-in-the-hem promise. Medium confidence given the wordplay on 'wings/corners' (kanaph) shared with the tassel.
Medium confidenceEcho7
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
'The sun of righteousness shall rise with healing in its wings (kanaph)' — the same Hebrew term used for garment corners/fringes. Touching the fringe of Jesus' garment for healing evokes the eschatological promise of healing in the 'wings,' identifying him with the dawning sun of righteousness.
Medium confidence'The sun of righteousness shall rise with healing in its wings' faintly informs 'Christ will shine on you' (epiphausei). Low volume and contested; included for the rising-light-upon-the-awakened motif.
Low confidenceHealings gathered 'when the sun was setting' may evoke Malachi 4:2 (LXX 3:20), 'the sun of righteousness shall rise with healing in its wings.' Faint and contested word-play on sun + healing; Luke's sunset detail is plausibly incidental, hence low confidence.
Low confidence'The sun of righteousness shall rise with healing in its wings (kanaph)' — the same term denotes the hem/corner of a garment. The woman seeks healing by touching the edge of Jesus' clothes (vv.27-28), and Matthew/Luke specify the kraspedon (tassel). Faint but evocative: healing located in the garment's edge resonates with Malachi's healing 'in the wings.'
Low confidence'The sun of righteousness shall rise with healing in its wings' — eschatological dawning healing connects to the 'light dawned' (v.16) now realized in the healing ministry. Faint, thematic.
Low confidence'The sun of righteousness shall rise with healing in its wings (kanaf)' — kanaf also meaning the garment-corner/fringe. The pun links the healing 'fringe' the woman grasps to the messianic promise of healing in the 'wings,' a suggestive but disputed resonance.
Low confidence'The sun of righteousness shall rise with healing in its wings' — the dawning day of salvation coheres with 'the day is near' (v.12) and the nearness of salvation (v.11).
