I think when Jesus said "that" He was referring to the immediate antecedent of the preceding clause, rather than a distant scripture His audience may or may not have related. Otherwise, He'd have likely said, "...as it is written...."
That may be if the Hebrew mindset works the same way as ours and Greek grammar as the English. Sometimes if the grammatical-historical approach doesn't make sense, there's always the Author to help out. :)

Except that it does work out.

It was rhetorical, answered by my next statement.
I see. Funny, I looked at several commentators and they all pretty much stated what I stated. Do you have any that support your stance?

God is merciful, forgives, and does not remembers sins of His children.

Isaiah 43:25
“I, even I, am the one who wipes out your transgressions for My own sake, And I will not remember your sins.

Hebrews 8:12
“For I will be merciful to their iniquities, And I will remember their sins no more.”

Hebrews 10:17
“And their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”

Psalm 103:8 The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness.
9 He will not always strive with us,
Nor will He keep His anger forever.
10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins,
Nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
So great is His lovingkindness toward those who fear Him.
12 As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He removed our transgressions from us.
13 Just as a father has compassion on his children,
So the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him.
14 For He Himself knows our frame;
He is mindful that we are but dust.
