Echo2

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

Luke 1:67-75

'Salvation from our enemies' echoes 'He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me' (Psalm 18:17; 2 Samuel 22:18), a Davidic deliverance text coherent with the horn-of-David context.

Medium confidence
Mark 3:20-30 ?

Deliverance 'from my strong enemy' parallels the binding of the strong man; the psalmist is rescued from a mightier foe by God's power. Thematic coherence with the rescue-from-the-strong motif; low volume.
