And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.

And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?

And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus,

a Levite, a Cyprian by birth, Having an estate, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the feet of the apostles.

But Melchizedek, whose ancestry is not traced from the Levites, has collected a tenth [of the spoils] from Abraham, and blessed him who had received promises [from God].

And in the one case, men here [on earth, that is, the Levites] who die, collect a tenth [from the rest of the Israelites], but there [i.e., in the case of Melchizedek] it is collected by someone about whom it is declared [by Scripture] that he continues to live.

If now therefore perfection came by the priesthood of the Levites - for under that priesthood the people received the law - what needed it furthermore that another priest should rise, after the order of Melchizedek, and not after the order of Aaron?
