Allusion1

A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.

Echo1

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

Matt 24:45-51 ?

'the wicked will see it and be angry; he will gnash his teeth and melt away' (Ps 112:10) lies behind the recurring Matthean punishment-formula 'weeping and gnashing of teeth' assigned to the evil servant.
