Luke 1:51-56

Echo1

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

Luke 6:20-23

'He satisfies the hungry soul with good things' undergirds 'blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled.' Coherent with Luke's broader hunger-satisfaction theme (Magnificat, 1:53).
