Allusion6
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
'In the hand of the LORD there is a cup, and the wine foams... all the wicked of the earth shall drink' — the cup of wrath the wicked must drain, behind 'the cup of his anger' poured for the beast-worshipers. The 'unmixed/full strength' note plays on the psalm's full-strength wine.
High confidence'Remove this cup from me' draws on the prophetic 'cup' of God's wrath/judgment, which in Psalm 75:8 the LORD makes the wicked drink to the dregs. The cup as a vessel of divine judgment to be drained gives a coherent OT background for Jesus' prayer.
Medium confidence'In the hand of the LORD there is a cup... and he pours it out; surely all the wicked of the earth shall drain it' establishes the cup as the draught of God's judgment. Jesus' question 'are you able to drink the cup that I drink' draws on this judicial cup. The wrath-cup motif's Recurrence (Jeremiah 25, Isaiah 51) supports it.
Medium confidenceJesus' plea 'remove this cup from me' draws on the prophetic 'cup' of God's wrath and judgment, here Psalm 75's cup of foaming wine that the wicked must drink to the dregs. The metaphor of drinking a divinely appointed cup of suffering gives real volume and coheres with Mark's earlier cup-saying (10:38-39).
Medium confidenceThe cup of foaming wine of God's wrath that the wicked drink to the dregs; supplies the 'cup' = divine judgment imagery behind 20:22-23.
Medium confidence'in the hand of the LORD there is a cup... the wicked of the earth shall drain it' supplies the cup-of-wrath image behind 'this cup' (vv39,42).
Medium confidenceEcho1
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
'In the hand of the LORD is a cup of foaming wine... all the wicked of the earth shall drink it' — the cup-in-hand making the earth drink; reinforces the cup/intoxication network behind the harlot's golden cup. Hays: coherence, low distinctiveness. LXX Ps 74:9.
Low confidence◇ Figural1
A typological pattern re-read in a later text — no verbal quotation, high figural coherence.
Jesus' 'the cup which the Father has given me, shall I not drink it?' draws on the prophetic cup of wrath, here the cup in the LORD's hand of foaming wine that the wicked must drain. The cup-of-judgment metaphor is the controlling image, and John's substitution of obedience-unto-death for the Synoptic prayer to remove the cup gives the figural reading high Volume and Coherence.
