Lift up your heads, you gates! Be lifted up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in. Who is the King of glory? Yahweh strong and mighty, Yahweh mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, you gates; yes, lift them up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in. Who is this King of glory? Yahweh of Armies is the King of glory! Selah.

Allusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
'They would not have crucified the Lord of glory' (v.8) most plausibly draws its title from the repeated 'the King of glory... the LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory.' The transfer of a divine glory-title to the crucified Christ is figural and striking; volume rests on the rare phrase 'of glory' applied to the Lord.
Medium confidenceEcho2
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
The 'gates lift up your heads' entry of the King of glory was read in early tradition as the ascent of the exalted Lord into the heavenly sanctuary, paralleling Jesus carried up into heaven. Faint and traditional rather than verbal in Luke, so low and contested.
Low confidenceThe king's approach to Jerusalem and entry into the temple faintly recalls the processional liturgy of the King of glory entering the gates. The coherence is thematic (royal advent into the sanctuary), but there is no verbal contact, so the echo is faint and contested.
