as also in another place he says, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

being called by God a chief priest after the order of Melchisedec.

where our forerunner Jesus entered, made after the order of Melchisedec a chief priest forever.

For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham as he returned from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,

for he was yet in his father when Melchisedec met him.

If therefore there was perfection through the Levitical priesthood,??or the people received the law under it,??hat need was there that another priest should arise after the order of Melchisedec and not to be called after the order of Aaron?

And moreover, [this] is still further evident, if another priest is raised up according to the likeness of Melchisedec,

For it is testified, Thou art a priest forever, after the order of Melchisedec.
