Doctrine and Covenants D&C 95:8
"I gave unto you a commandment that you should build a house, in the which house I design to endow those whom I have chosen with power from on high;"
New Testament Luke 24:49
"but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high."

Shared words: with power from on high

Divergences: the gospel attaches the endowment to a place and a waiting, the revelation to a building not yet built, narrowing the recipients to 'those whom I have chosen'; 'endued' reads 'endow'. The revelation's next verse makes the correspondence explicit in its own words, carrying over the promise, the command to tarry, and the city (D&C 95:9). 'power from on high' stands at seven distinct frozen verses in the corpus: Luke 24:49, D&C 20:8, D&C 38:32, D&C 38:38, D&C 95:8, D&C 105:11, D&C 109:35; the gospel verse is the only non-Doctrine-and-Covenants witness and is paired for that reason.
