For to which of the angels did he ever say: "Thou art my Son, I this day have begotten thee?" and again: "I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?"

and in this place again: "They shall not enter into my rest."

For if Joshua had given them rest, he would not after this be speaking of another day.

and by reason of this infirmity he must, as for the people, so also for himself, offer sacrifice for sins.

And no one taketh this honor to himself, but when called by God, as was Aaron.

Thus Christ did not glorify himself to be made highpriest, but he who said to him, "Thou art my Son, I this day have begotten thee;"

And this we will do, if God permit.

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,

Consider now how great this man was, to whom even Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth of the spoils.

who hath not necessity daily, as the highpriests, to offer up sacrifice first for his own sins, and then for those of the people; for this he did once for all, when he offered up himself.

And for this cause he is the mediator of a new covenant, that, death having taken place for redemption from the transgressions under the first covenant, they who have been called may receive the everlasting inheritance which was promised.
