For this Melchizedek, the king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, the one having met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him, to whom Abraham divided the tenth from all first, being interpreted, King of righteousness, and then King of Salem, which is, King of peace; without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but being made like unto the Son of God, he abides a priest continually. read more.
You see how great this man was, to whom the patriarch Abraham even gave the tenth part of the chief spoils. And those indeed of the sons of Levi receiving the priesthood have a commandment to tithe the people according to the law, that is, their brethren, even though having come out from the loins of Abraham: but he who did not derive his lineage from them has tithed Abraham, and blessed him having the promises. For without contradiction the less is blessed by the better. And here indeed men dying, receive tithes; however there, he is witnessed to that he lives. And, so to speak a word, Levi, the one receiving tithes, has also been tithed through Abraham. For he was still in the loins of his father, when Melchizedek met him. Then indeed if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood, for unto it the people have been tithed, what need is there still that another priest shall rise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron? For the priesthood being changed, of necessity there is a change of the law. For he unto whom these things were spoken belongs to another tribe, from which no one ministers at the altar: for it is evident that our Lord sprang from Judah; in reference to which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priests. And it is still more abundantly evident, if after the similitude of Melchizedek another priest rises, who was not made after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life. For it is testified, Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. For there is a disannulling of the preceding commandment, on account of its weakness and inadequacy for the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope, by which we draw nigh unto God. And in as much as it is without an oath, for the priests were made without an oath; but He with an oath through the one saying to him, The Lord hath sworn, and will not regret it; thou art a priest forever;

Think the same thing among yourselves, which is also in Christ Jesus: who, being in the form of God, thought it not usurpation to be equal with God, but he humbled himself, having taken the form of a servant, being in the likeness of men; and having been found in fashion like a man; read more.
he humbled himself, being obedient even unto death, yea, the death of the cross.

then he has said, Lo, I come to do thy will. He takes away the first, that he may establish the second; by which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And every high priest indeed stands daily ministering, and frequently offering the same sacrifices, which are never able to take away sins: read more.
and he, having offered up one sacrifice for sins, forever sat down on the right hand of God; finally waiting until his enemies may be made the foot-stool of his feet. For by one offering he has forever perfected the sanctified.

For if by the transgression of one death reigned through one; how much more shall those receiving the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Christ Jesus!) Therefore then, as by the transgression of one, judgment came to all men to condemnation; so also through the righteousness of one, the free gift came on all men unto the justification of life: for as by the disobedience of one man many were made sinners, so also by the obedience of one man shall many be made righteous.

Likewise Christ also did not glorify himself to become a high priest, but the one having spoken to him, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee: as also he says in another place, Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. Who in the days of his flesh, having with strong crying and tears offered up both prayers and supplications unto him who is able to save him from death, and having been heard on account of his piety, read more.
indeed being a Son, he learned obedience from those things which he suffered;
