Scripture |
| 1 |
For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;
|
| 2 |
To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;
|
| 3 |
Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.
|
| 4 |
Now consider how great this man [was], unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.
|
| 5 |
And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:
|
| 6 |
But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.
|
| 7 |
And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.
|
| 8 |
And here men that die receive tithes; but there he [receiveth them], of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.
|
| 9 |
And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.
|
| 10 |
For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.
|
| 11 |
If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need [was there] that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
|
| 12 |
For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
|
| 13 |
For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.
|
| 14 |
For [it is] evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.
|
| 15 |
And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,
|
| 16 |
Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
|
| 17 |
For he testifieth, Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
|
| 18 |
For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.
|
| 19 |
For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope [did]; by the which we draw nigh unto God.
|
| 20 |
And inasmuch as not without an oath [he was made priest]:
|
| 21 |
(For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)
|
| 22 |
By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
|
| 23 |
And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:
|
| 24 |
But this [man], because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.
|
| 25 |
Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
|
| 26 |
For such an high priest became us, [who is] holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
|
| 27 |
Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.
|
| 28 |
For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, [maketh] the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.
