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

Acts 16:11-15 ?

'Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things' as the prayer-paradigm for God enabling perception of his word; Lydia's opened heart to attend to Paul's words is its narrative fulfillment. Conceptual parallel.

Low confidence
Matt 13:10-17 ?

'Open my eyes that I may behold wondrous things' — the blessing on eyes that see (v.16) inverts the prayer for opened perception; thematic only.
