Isaiah. Quotations and Allusions
in the New Testament.
This Is Appendix 80 From The Companion Bible.
The prophet Isaiah is quoted or referred to some eighty-five times in the New Testament. But several passages are cited or alluded to more than once; so that sixty-one separate passages are referred to in these eighty-five New Testament citations.
Of these sixty-one passages in Isaiah, it will be noticed that twenty-three are from the alleged "former" part of Isaiah (chapters 1-39), and are cited thirty-two times; while thirty-eight (the larger number) are cited from the alleged "latter" part (chapters 40-66) which is most called in question by modern critics. These sixty-one passages are cited eighty-five times.
The following table exhibits the whole; and the evidence hereby afforded, as to the unity of the authorship of Isaiah, may be added to that already given in Appendix 79 :-

Twelve books give six direct quotations.
