Is John 10:30 intended to evoke the Shema?

In John 10:30, Jesus states, "I and the Father are one."

The Shema in Deuteronomy 6:4 says "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one."

At least on the surface both look somewhat similar. Are there reasons to think that the statement in John 10:30 is intended to evoke the phrase in Deuteronomy 6:4?
