Doctrine and Covenants D&C 95:5
"there are many who have been ordained among you, whom I have called but few of them are chosen."
New Testament Matthew 22:14
"For many are called, but few are chosen."

Divergences: the parable's line is a general maxim with no antecedent group; the revelation applies it to a set the verse itself defines and inserts 'of them' into the run. Registered as allusion rather than shared phrasing: the longest verbatim run common to both is 'called but few', three words. 'many are called' stands at exactly two distinct frozen verses in the corpus - Matthew 22:14 and D&C 121:40, which states the maxim in the parable's own words; that verse belongs to another cluster and is flagged rather than paired.
