    1For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,

    2to whom also Abraham divided a tenth part of all (being first, 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.

    5They indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priest's office have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brothers, though these have come out of the body of Abraham,

    7But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater.

    8Here people who die receive tithes, but there one receives tithes of whom it is testified that he lives.

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

    13For he of whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has officiated at the altar.

    14For it is evident that our Lord has sprung out of Judah, about which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.

    15This is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest,
