Saving above, "Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt-offerings and offerings for sin," Thou didst not wish; neither hadst pleasure therein, which, indeed, are offered according to the law; then hath He said, "Lo, I have come to do Thy will." He taketh away the first, that He may establish the second: in which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And every priest, indeed, stands daily ministering, and ofttimes offering the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins; but This Man, having offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God; from henceforth awaiting until His foes shall be placed as a footstool for His feet. For by one offering He hath perfected forever those who are being sanctified.

How, then, could the Scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?"

And He said to them, "O inconsiderate and slow in heart to believe in all that the prophets spake! Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things, and enter into His glory?"

For, if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, sanctifies to the purification of the flesh; how much more shall the blood of Christ, Who through the Eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

Moreover, both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the service, he sprinkled in like manner with the blood. And nearly all things are cleansed, according to the law, with blood; and apart from shedding of blood there is no remission. There was, therefore, a necessity that the copies of the things in Heaven should be cleansed with these; but the heavenly things themselves, with better sacrifices than these. For Christ entered not into holy places made with hand, patterns of the true; but into Heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God in our behalf; nor yet, that He should many times offer Himself, as the high priest enters into the Holies every year with blood not His own; else had it been needful for Him ofttimes to suffer since the founding of a world; but now, once for all, at the end of the ages, He hath been manifested for the putting away of sin through the sacrifice of Himself. And inasmuch as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this comes judgment; so also Christ, having once for all been offered to bear the sins of many, will, to those who are eagerly waiting for Him; appear a second time apart from sin, unto salvation.

For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, not the very likeness of the things, can never, with the same sacrifices, which they offer year by year continually, perfect those who come to them; else would they not have ceased to be offered? because the worshipers, having been cleansed once for all, would have had no more conscience of sins.

having a golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid on every side with gold, in which was a golden pot containing the manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant; and over it Cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy-seat; concerning which things we cannot now speak in detail. Now, these things having been thus prepared, the priests go continually into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the services; but into the second, the high priest alone, once a year, not without blood, which he offers for himself and for the ignorances of the people; the Holy Spirit signifying this, that the way into the Holies has not yet been made manifest, while the first tabernacle is yet standing; which, indeed, is a figure for the time present, according to which are offered both gifts and sacrifices, which cannot, as to the conscience, make the worshiper perfect; being only (with meats and drinks and various immersions) ordinances of the flesh, imposed until a time of reformation.

They said, therefore, to Him, "Lord, evermore give us this bread." read more.

And I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband.

For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him, to whom also Abraham apportioned a tenth of all (first, indeed, interpreted as "King of Righteousness," and then also "King of Salem"??hich is king of peace; without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like to the Son of God), abides a priest continually. read more.
Now consider how great this man was, to whom Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth of the chief spoils. And those, indeed, from among the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, (though having come out of the loins of Abraham); but he whose genealogy is not reckoned from them has taken tithes of Abraham, and has blessed him who had the promises. And, without any dispute, the less is blessed by the better. And here, indeed, men who die receive tithes; but there, one received them who receives witness that he lives. And, so to speak, through Abraham even Levi, who takes tithes, has paid tithes; for he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchizedek met him. If, therefore, there was perfection through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people have received the law), what further need was there, that another Priest should arise according to the rank of Melchizedek, and not be reckoned according to the rank of Aaron? For, the priesthood being changed, there is made, of necessity, a change of law also. For He of Whom these things are spoken hath taken part in a different tribe from which no one gave attendance at the altar. For it is evident that our Lord hath sprung out of Judah, respecting which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priests. And it is yet far more evident; if, according to the likeness of Melchizedek, there arises another Priest, Who hath been made Priest, not according to a law of a carnal commandment, but according to the power of an endless life; for it is testified of Him, "Thou art a Priest forever according to the rank of Melchizedek."
