Melchisedec

But Melchisedech, the king of Salem, bringing forth bread and wine, for he was the priest of the most high God,

He hath made a remembrance of his wonderful works, being a merciful and gracious Lord:

As he saith also in another place: Thou art a priest for ever, according to the order of Melchisedech.

Called by God a high priest, according to the order of Melchisedech.

Where the forerunner Jesus is entered for us, made a high priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedech.

For this Melchisedech was king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him:

For he was yet in the loins of his father when Melchisedech met him.

If then perfection was by the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need was there that another priest should rise according to the order of Melchisedech: and not be called according to the order of Aaron?

And it is yet far more evident: if according to the similitude of Melchisedech there ariseth another priest,

For he testifieth: Thou art a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedech.

But this with an oath, by him that said unto him: The Lord hath sworn and he will not repent: Thou art a priest for ever).
