"near coming of the Son of man: “But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My Lord delayeth His coming; and shall begin to smite his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; the Lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for Him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, and shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites.” 1T 57.1"
"But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;"
EGW directly quotes Matthew 24:48.
"But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;"

"We found everywhere the scoffers whom Peter said should come in the last days, walking after their own lusts, and saying: “Where is the promise of His coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.” But those who had looked for the coming of the Lord were not without comfort. They had obtained valuable knowledge in the searching of the word. The plan of salvation was plainer to their understanding. Every day they discovered new beauties in the sacred pages, and a wonderful harmony running through all, one scripture explaining another, and no word used in vain. 1T 57.2"
"Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation."
EGW directly quotes and alludes to 2 Peter 3:3-4 regarding scoffers questioning the promise of Christ's coming. This is a clear and direct connection.
"How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts."
EGW directly references Peter's prophecy about scoffers in the last days walking after their own lusts, which is also found in Jude. The connection is more than thematic; it's a direct reference.
"For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope."
Romans 15:4 speaks of the comfort and hope found in scripture, which aligns with EGW's statement about those who searched the word finding comfort and understanding. While not a direct quote, the theme is similar.
"Our disappointment was not so great as that of the disciples. When the Son of man rode triumphantly into Jerusalem, they expected Him to be crowned king. The people flocked from all the region about, and cried: “Hosanna to the Son of David.” And when the priests and elders besought Jesus to still the multitude, He declared that if they should hold their peace even the stones would cry out, for prophecy must be fulfilled. Yet in a few days these very disciples saw their beloved Master, whom they believed would reign on David's throne, stretched upon the cruel cross above the mocking, taunting Pharisees. Their high hopes were disappointed, and the darkness of death closed about them. 1T 57.3"
"And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest."
EGW directly quotes and references the event described in Matthew 21:9, making it an explicit allusion.
"And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out."
EGW directly references Jesus' statement about the stones crying out, as recorded in Luke 19:40, making it an explicit allusion.
"Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord."
EGW references the event of Jesus' triumphal entry, including the cry of 'Hosanna,' which is also found in John 12:13. While not a direct quote, the reference is clear and specific.
