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

John 6:60-71 ?

Aaron is 'the holy one of the LORD' — the only OT figure given nearly this exact title, offering a priestly alternative background to Peter's confession (v.69). Lower Volume than Psalm 16; contested as the operative source.

Low confidence
Mark 1:21-28 ?

The demon's confession 'the Holy One of God' uses a title applied in Psalm 106:16 (LXX 105:16) to Aaron, 'the holy one of the LORD.' Volume is the shared distinctive title, but its referent differs sharply (Aaron vs. Jesus), so the link is contested; it may simply mark Jesus as the consecrated agent of God whose holiness repels the unclean spirit.
