Thematic Bible: Superior to aaron and the levitical priests


Thematic Bible



And now he hath obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much better a covenant he is a mediator of, which is established upon better promises.

If then perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law) what farther need was there that another priest should rise, after the order of Melchisedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?


The sum of what hath been spoken is, We have such an high priest, who is set down at the right-hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, A minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord hath fixed and not man.
