Echo2

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

Mark 4:35-41 ?

Nahum's God who 'rebukes the sea, and makes it dry' provides another instance of the divine rebuke of the waters behind Jesus' command 'Peace! Be still!' (4:39). It strengthens the recurrence of the sea-rebuke tradition, though it is not specifically cited.

Medium confidence
Matt 8:23-27 ?

'He rebukes the sea and makes it dry' supplies the verb 'rebuke' applied to the sea, a divine-theophany act; faint verbal echo, contested.
