Matthew
Direct verbal dependence.
Matthew 22.13
1 Enoch 10.4
Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him, feet and hands; throw him out into the darkness outside’
And he said to Raphael, ‘Bind Azael, feet and hands, and throw him into the darkness’

και τω ραφαηλ ειπεν δησον τον αζαηλ ποσιν και χερσιν και βαλε αυτον εις το σκοτος

1 Enoch 69.27

Matthew 19.28

at the renewal of all things when the son of man is seated on the throne of his glory
Matthew 25.31
when the son of man comes in his glory and all the angels with him then he will sit on the throne of his glory
Judah
The whole letter is loaded with allusions to and paraphrases of 1 Enoch, along with one direct quotation. In all the New Testament, Judah is the most obviously directly dependent on 1 Enoch, because the author names the book as his source. Because 2 Peter is an expanded version of Judah, this means 2 Peter is dependent on 1 Enoch second-hand.
Judah 4
1 Enoch 48.10
For certain intruders have stolen in among you, people who long ago were designated for this condemnation as ungodly, who pervert the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only master and lord, Jesus the Messiah.
And on the day of their distress there will be rest on the earth, and before them they will fall and not rise, and there will be no one to take them with his hand and raise them. For they have denied the Lord of Spirits and his Messiah.

Revelation of John
A few paraphrases or allusions.
Revelation of John 6.9–10
1 Enoch 9.10
And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw souls under the altar, those who were slaughtered for God’s word and the witness they held. And they were yelling in a loud voice, saying, ‘Holy and true Lord, why do you not judge and avenge our blood from those dwelling on the earth?’
And now look, the spirits of the souls of the men who have died make suit, and their groan has come up to the gates of heaven
Revelation of John 7.1
1 Enoch 76.1,4
After these things I saw four angels standing at the earth’s four corners, grasping the earth’s four winds so no wind would blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
At the boundaries of the earth I saw twelve gates open for all the winds […] from those other eight [corner gates of the twelve], winds of punishment emerge; when they are sent they bring devastation to the entire earth and the water on it, all that live on it, and all that are in the water and on the land
Revelation of John 12.5
1 Enoch 62.7
And she gave birth to a son, a male, who is about to rule all the nations with an iron rod. And her child was taken to God and his throne.
For the son of man was concealed from the beginning, and the Most High One preserved him in the presence of his power
Revelation of John 14.20
1 Enoch 100.3
And the winepress was stomped outside the city, and blood flowed from the winepress as high as horses’ bridles for one thousand six hundred stadia.

First Peter
This is a resconstructed allusion, based on a hypothetical typo.
1 Peter 3.19
Translation
ΕΝΩΚΑΙΤΟΙΣΕΝΦΥΛΑΚΗΠΝΕΥΜΑΣΙΝΠΟΡΕΥΘΕΙΣΕΚΗΡΥΞΕΝ
in which also he went and made a proclamation to the spirits in prison
There may be a scribal error here, in which the scribe misheard or misread the phrase ΕΝΩΚΑΙ instead of ΕΝΩΧΚΑΙ.
Emended Text
Translation
ΕΝΩΧΚΑΙΤΟΙΣΕΝΦΥΛΑΚΗΠΝΕΥΜΑΣΙΝΠΟΡΕΥΘΕΙΣΕΚΗΡΥΞΕΝ
And Enoch went and made a proclamation to the spirits in prison
Enoch does exactly this in 1 Enoch 12–16. The result is an ABBA thought process that uses the two most prominent (and correctly sequential) pre-Abrahamic patriarchs to set examples:
A. Judgment of angels: Enoch proclaimed to the fallen angels
B. Rescue through water: Noah’s family was saved through the flood
B. Rescue through water: Jesus’ followers are baptized
A. Judgment of angels: Jesus is enthroned with all angels subjected to him
First Peter 3 says their actions foreshadow Jesus’ salvation and authority.
Luke
Possible allusion.
Luke 3.23–37
1 Enoch 10.12
Jesus was about thirty years old when he began his work. He was the son […] of Enoch
bind them for seventy generations in the valleys of the earth, until the day of their judgment
The genealogy for Jesus given in Luke 3 is very different from that given in Matthew 1, with eleven more generations between Abraham and Jesus. Luke also follows the Septuagint version of Genesis 11, adding another generation between Noah and Abraham. The result is exactly seventy generations from Enoch to Jesus.
