  • Heb 7:1-9 : 1 This Melchizedek, king of Salem and priest of the Most High God, met Abraham as he returned from defeating the kings and blessed him. 2 Abraham also gave him a tenth of everything. First, his name means 'King of Righteousness'; then also, he is 'King of Salem,' which means 'King of Peace.' 3 Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, resembling the Son of God, he remains a priest forever. 4 Consider how great this man was: Even Abraham, the patriarch, gave him a tenth of the best spoils. 5 Now the sons of Levi who receive the priesthood are commanded by the law to collect a tenth from the people—that is, from their brothers—even though they too are descendants of Abraham. 6 But this man, who does not trace his descent from them, collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed the one who had the promises. 7 It is universally recognized that the lesser is blessed by the greater. 8 In one case, mortal men receive tithes, but in the other case, it is testified that he lives. 9 And to say it another way, Levi, who collects tithes, also paid tithes through Abraham. 10 For he was still in the loins of his ancestor when Melchizedek met him. 11 If perfection could have been achieved through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), why was there still a need for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, rather than one according to the order of Aaron? 12 For when there is a change in the priesthood, there must also be a change in the law. 13 For the one about whom these things are spoken belongs to a different tribe, one from which no one has ever served at the altar. 14 For it is clear that our Lord descended from Judah, and in regard to that tribe, Moses said nothing about priests. 15 And this becomes even more evident if another priest arises in the likeness of Melchizedek, 16 one who has become a priest not on the basis of a law of physical requirement, but according to the power of an indestructible life. 17 For it is testified: 'You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.' 18 The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless, 19 (for the law made nothing perfect), but a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God. 20 And it was not without an oath! Others became priests without any oath, 21 but he became a priest with an oath when God said to him: 'The Lord has sworn and will not change His mind: You are a priest forever.'

    1Now here is the main point: We have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens.

    2He serves in the holy place and the true tabernacle, which was set up by the Lord and not by man.

    3Every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices, and so it was necessary for this one also to have something to offer.

    4If he were on earth, he would not be a priest, since there are already priests who offer gifts according to the law.

    5These priests serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, just as Moses was warned when he was about to set up the tabernacle. For God said, 'See that you make everything according to the pattern shown to you on the mountain.'

    6But now Jesus has obtained a more excellent ministry, as he is the mediator of a better covenant, which has been established on better promises.
