    1For this Melchizedek, the king of Salem, a priest of the Most High God, who gave Abraham his blessing, meeting him when he came back after putting the kings to death,

    2And to whom Abraham gave a tenth part of everything which he had, being first named King of righteousness, and then in addition, King of Salem, that is to say, King of peace;

    3Being without father or mother, or family, having no birth or end to his life, being made like the Son of God, is a priest for ever.

    4Now see how great this man was, to whom our father Abraham gave a tenth part of what he had got in the fight.

    5And it is true that by the law, those of the sons of Levi who have the position of priests may take a tenth part of the people's goods; that is to say, they take it from their brothers though these are the sons of Abraham.

    6But this man, who was not of their family, took the tenth from Abraham, and gave a blessing to him to whom God had given his undertaking.

    7But there is no doubt that the less gets his blessing from the greater.

    8Now at the present time, men over whom death has power take the tenth; but then it was taken by one of whom it is witnessed that he is living.

    9And we may say that in Abraham, even Levi, who has a right to take the tenth part, gave it;

    10Because he was still in his father's body when Melchizedek came to him.

    11Now if it was possible for things to be made complete through the priests of the house of Levi (for the law was given to the people in connection with them), what need was there for another priest who was of the order of Melchizedek and not of the order of Aaron?

    12Because if the priests are changed, it is necessary to make a change in the law.

    13For he of whom these things are said comes of another tribe, of which no man has ever made offerings at the altar.

    15And this is even more clear if a second priest has come up who is like Melchizedek,

    16That is to say, not made by a law based on the flesh, but by the power of a life without end:

    17For it has been witnessed of him, You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

    19(Because the law made nothing complete), and in its place there is a better hope, through which we come near to God.

    20And as this is not without the taking of an oath

    21(For those were made priests without an oath, but this one was made a priest with an oath by him who says of him, The Lord gave his oath, which he will not take back, that you are a priest for ever);

    22By so much is it a better agreement which we have through Jesus.

    23And it is true that there have been a great number of those priests, because death does not let them go on for ever;

    24But this priest, because his life goes on for ever, is unchanging.

    1Now of the things we are saying this is the chief point: We have such a high priest, who has taken his place at the right hand of God's high seat of glory in heaven,

    2As a servant of the holy things and of the true Tent, which was put up by God, not by man.

    3Now every high priest is given authority to take to God the things which are given and to make offerings; so that it is necessary for this man, like them, to have something for an offering.

    4If he had been on earth he would not have been a priest at all, because there are other priests who make the offerings ordered by the law;

    5Being servants of that which is a copy and an image of the things in heaven, as Moses, when he was about to make the Tent, had special orders from God: for, See, he said, that you make everything like the design which you saw in the mountain.

    26It was right for us to have such a high priest, one who is holy and without evil, doing no wrong, having no part with sinners, and made higher than the heavens:

    27Who has no need to make offerings for sins every day, like those high priests, first for himself, and then for the people; because he did this once and for ever when he made an offering of himself.

    28The law makes high priests of men who are feeble; but the word of the oath, which was made after the law, gives that position to a Son, in whom all good is for ever complete.
