Explained connections
- Hearing but not understanding
At his call Isaiah is told his preaching will harden a people who hear without understanding. Jesus cites it to explain why he teaches in parables.
- The last word of Acts
Acts closes with Paul in Rome quoting Isaiah 6 to the Jewish leaders who rejected his message, then announcing that the salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles.
- He has blinded their eyes
John quotes Isaiah 6:10 to explain unbelief, then adds that Isaiah said this because he saw 'his glory' — identifying the Lord on the throne in Isaiah 6 with Jesus.
- Holy, holy, holy
In Isaiah's temple vision the seraphim cry 'holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts'. Around John's heavenly throne the living creatures sing the same threefold holy day and night.
