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

Called by God a high priest after the order of Melchisedec.

Whither the forerunner hath for us entered, even Jesus, made a high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

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

For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

(For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath, by him that said to him, The Lord swore, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)
