Is there any portion of the Bible that depends on a book not in the Canon for confirmation ?

Is there any portion of the Protestant Bible that depends on a book not in the Protestant Canon for confirmation ?

And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.
Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.

The feast of the dedication (Hanukkah) did not appear anywhere in the Old Testament, and yet it appears here in the New Testament as a holyday in the Canon of Holydays, as it were. The Messiah Himself sanctifies the Feast of the Dedication (Rededication of the Holy Temple) with His presence at the Temple, affirming its authenticity.

The Gospel of John has a dependency on Second Maccabees, for it is no where else taught.

Whereas we then are about to celebrate the purification, we have written unto you, and ye shall do well, if ye keep the same days.
We hope also, that the God, that delivered all his people, and gave them all an heritage, and the kingdom, and the priesthood, and the sanctuary,
As he promised in the law, will shortly have mercy upon us, and gather us together out of every land under heaven into the holy place: for he hath delivered us out of great troubles, and hath purified the place.

And Acts 17:28 has "dependency" upon wisdom from within paganism, which does not make such Scripture: "For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring." (Acts 17:28)

And before you showed up distinction was made btwn types of references vs quoting or invoking Hebrew canonical Scripture as Scripture. Once again you are engaging in vain rabble-rousing.
