Doctrine and Covenants D&C 35:16
"And they shall learn the parable of the fig tree, for even now already summer is nigh."
New Testament Mark 13:28
"Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:"

Shared words: parable of the fig tree

D&C 35:16 names the parable. Multi-attestation disclosure: the parable of the fig tree stands at four places in the frozen corpus — Matthew 24:32, Mark 13:28, Luke 21:29, and Joseph Smith—Matthew 1:38 — and the register's original pairing is Matthew (w3-dc35-figtree-matt24). Mark 13:28 is paired here because it shares the imperative-plus-fig-tree opening and the summer clause; Matthew reads "summer is nigh" (the D&C's exact words) where Mark reads "summer is near" and Joseph Smith—Matthew 1:38 reads "summer is nigh at hand". Luke 21:29 names the fig tree but carries no summer clause in its own verse.
