12For the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change also of the law.
13For he of whom these things are spoken belongs to another tribe, of which no man attended the altar.
14For it is evident that our Lord arose from Judah, of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.
15And it is yet far more evident: for in the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest,
16Who is made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but according to the power of an endless life.
17For he testifies, You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.
18For there is indeed a setting aside of the former commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness.
19For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by which we draw near to God.
20And inasmuch as he was not made priest without an oath:
21For those priests were made without an oath; but this one with an oath by him that said to him, The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek:
22By so much was Jesus made the guarantor of a better covenant.
23And they truly were many priests, because they were not allowed to continue by reason of death:
24But he, because he continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood.
25Therefore he is able also to save completely those who come to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.
26For such a high priest was fitting for us, who is holy, innocent, undefiled, separate from sinners, and exalted above the heavens;
27Who does not need daily, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for he did this once, when he offered up himself.
28For the law appoints as high priests men who have weaknesses; but the word of the oath, which came after the law, appoints the Son, who is perfected forever.
1Now of the things we have spoken this is the sum: We have such a high priest, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;
2A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord set up, and not man.
3For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; therefore it is necessary that this man also have something to offer.
4For if he were on earth, he would not be a priest, since there are priests that offer gifts according to the law;
5Who serve as an example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was warned by God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, says He, that you make all things according to the pattern shown to you on the mount.
6But now has he obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.
7For if that first covenant had been faultless, then there would have been no occasion sought for the second.
1For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the defeat of the kings, and blessed him;
2To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and then also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;
3Without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like the Son of God; remains a priest continually.
4Now consider how great this man was, to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth of the spoils.
5And indeed those who are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes from the people according to the law, that is, from their brothers, though they come from the loins of Abraham:
6But he whose genealogy is not counted from them received tithes from Abraham, and blessed him who had the promises.
7And without all contradiction the lesser is blessed by the greater.
8And here mortal men receive tithes; but there he receives them, of whom it is witnessed that he lives.
9And, as I may say, Levi also, who receives tithes, paid tithes through Abraham.
10For he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.
10Called by God as a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.
4And no man takes this honor unto himself, but only he who is called by God, as was Aaron.
5So also Christ did not glorify Himself to become a high priest, but He who said to Him, 'You are My Son, today I have begotten You.'
6As He also says in another place, 'You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.'
20Where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, made a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.
4The LORD has sworn and will not relent, You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.
11But Christ came as a high priest of the good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation;
1For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come and not the actual form of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offer year by year continually make those who come perfect.
2For then would they not have ceased to be offered? Because the worshipers, once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins.
1For every high priest taken from among men is appointed for men in matters related to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:
11And every priest stands daily ministering and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
10And He has brought you near to Him, and all your brethren the sons of Levi with you: and do you seek the priesthood also?
6Now when these things were thus arranged, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, performing the service of God.
9Which was a symbol for the present time, in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered that cannot make the worshiper perfect in conscience;
17Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
1Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Christ Jesus;
