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

    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.
