Reference for Sukkah 76:6
אתמר נמי אר"ש בן פזי אמר רבי יהושע בן לוי משום בר קפרא מנין לשומע כעונה דכתיב (מלכים ב כג, טז) את (הדברים) אשר קרא (יאשיהו) וכי יאשיהו קראן והלא שפן קראן דכתיב ויקראהו שפן (את כל הדברים האלה) לפני המלך אלא מכאן לשומע כעונה
It was also stated: R. Shimon bar Pazzi said in the name of R. Joshua b. Levi who said in the name of Bar Kappara: From where do we know that one who listens is as though he responds? From what is written: "Even all the words of the book which the King of Judah has read" (II Kings 22:16). But was it Josiah that read them? Was it not, in fact Shaphan who read them, as it is written, "And Shaphan read it before the king" (II Kings 22:10). Rather from here [we learn] that one who listens is as though he responds.
