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 :-
(The alleged "former" part)
(The alledged "latter" part)
The eighty-five citations or allusions are
distributed as follows : In Matthew there are nine; Mark, six; Luke, five;
John, five; Acts, five; Romans, eighteen (eight from the
"former" part, and ten from the "latter");
1 Corinthians, six;
2 Corinthians, four;
Galatians, one; Ephesians, two; Philippians, one; 1 Thessalonians,
one; 2 Thessalonians,
one; Hebrews, two; James, one; 1 Peter, five;
2 Peter, one;
Revelation, twelve (five from the "former" part, and seven
from the "latter").
Twelve books give six direct quotations.
Eighteen books contain eighty-five allusions to
Isaiah.
Only seven books out of twenty-seven have none.
The greater part of the New Testament is concerned
with establishing the genuineness and authority of the book of the prophet
Isaiah, and its one authorship. (See Appendix 79.)
