    16 Who is made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but according to the power of an endless life.

    17 For he testifies, You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

    18 For there is indeed a setting aside of the former commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness.

    19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by which we draw near to God.

    20 And inasmuch as he was not made priest without an oath:

    21 For 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:

    22 By so much was Jesus made the guarantor of a better covenant.

    23 And they truly were many priests, because they were not allowed to continue by reason of death:

    24 But he, because he continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood.

    25 Therefore he is able also to save completely those who come to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.

    26 For such a high priest was fitting for us, who is holy, innocent, undefiled, separate from sinners, and exalted above the heavens;

    27 Who 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.

    28 For 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.

    1 For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the defeat 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 then also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;

    3 Without 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.

    4 Now consider how great this man was, to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth of the spoils.

    5 And 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:

    6 But he whose genealogy is not counted from them received tithes from Abraham, and blessed him who had the promises.

    7 And without all contradiction the lesser is blessed by the greater.

    8 And here mortal men receive tithes; but there he receives them, of whom it is witnessed that he lives.

    9 And, as I may say, Levi also, who receives tithes, paid tithes through Abraham.

    10 For he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.

    11 If therefore perfection were through the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

    12 For the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change also of the law.

    13 For he of whom these things are spoken belongs to another tribe, of which no man attended the altar.

    14 For it is evident that our Lord arose from Judah, of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.

    1 Now 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;

    2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord set up, and not man.

    3 For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; therefore it is necessary that this man also have something to offer.

    4 For if he were on earth, he would not be a priest, since there are priests that offer gifts according to the law;

    5 Who 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.

    6 But 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.

    7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then there would have been no occasion sought for the second.
