The [[Ascension of Isaiah]], a [[Pseudepigrapha|pseudepigraphical]] Christian text dated to sometime between the end of the 1st century and the beginning of the 3rd, gives a detailed story of Isaiah confronting an evil false prophet and ending with Isaiah being [[martyr]]ed – none of which is attested in the original Biblical account.

[[Gregory of Nyssa]] (c. 335–395) believed that the Prophet Isaiah "knew more perfectly than all others the mystery of the religion of the Gospel". [[Jerome]] (c. 342–420) also lauds the Prophet Isaiah, saying "He was more of an Evangelist than a Prophet, because he described all of the Mysteries of the Church of Christ so vividly that you would assume he was not prophesying about the future, but rather was composing a history of past events."<ref>''The Lives of the Holy Prophets'', Holy Apostles Convent, {{ISBN|0-944359-12-4}}, page 101.</ref> Of specific note are the [[Servant songs|songs of the Suffering Servant]], which Christians say are a direct prophetic revelation of the nature, purpose, and detail of the death of Jesus Christ.

The Book of Isaiah is quoted many times by New Testament writers.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.simplybible.com/f591.htm|title=Isaiah in the New Testament - Quotations Chart - In Isaiah Order|first=Ron|last=Graham}}</ref> The [[Gospel of John]] says that Isaiah "saw Jesus' glory and spoke about him."<ref>''Bible'', {{bibleref||John|12:41|NIV}}</ref>
