    2to whom also Abraham divided a tenth part of all (being first, by interpretation, King of righteousness, and then also King of Salem, which is King of peace;

    14For it is evident that our Lord hath sprung out of Judah; as to which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priests.

    15And [what we say] is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there ariseth another priest,
