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

Mark 10:17-22 ?

'Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good' is the recurrent liturgical confession that God alone is good, the conviction behind Jesus' 'No one is good except one—God.' The refrain pervades the Psalter (106, 107, 136). Low and contested: a diffuse liturgical commonplace rather than a citation.

Low confidence
Matt 19:16-22 ?

'Why do you call me good? No one is good but God' resonates with the recurrent confession 'the LORD is good' (Ps 118:1; 106:1; 136:1); only God is the source of the predicate 'good.'
