Echo3

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

Matt 12:43-45

The demon Asmodeus flees to 'the remotest parts of Egypt' / the desert and is bound; Second Temple narrative of a routed demon driven to desolate regions, parallel to the unclean spirit expelled to waterless places.

Medium confidence
Luke 11:24-26 ?

The demon Asmodeus fleeing to "the remotest parts of Egypt" (the desert) where he is bound parallels the unclean spirit traversing waterless regions. A Second-Temple availability for desert-as-demonic-haunt; low.

Low confidence
Matt 8:28-34 ?

The demon Asmodeus driven off and bound prefigures the motif of demons expelled and consigned to judgment; Second-Temple thematic resonance, contested.
