as also he saith in another place, "Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchizedek."

being addressed by God as highpriest after the order of Melchizedek.

where as forerunner for us Jesus entered, having become a highpriest for ever, after the order of Melchizedek.

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,

for he was yet in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.

If indeed perfection had been by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people hath received the Law,) what further need was there that a different priest should arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called alter the order of Aaron?

And it is still more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there ariseth a different priest,

For it is testified of him, "Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchizedek."
