Verse Concepts
FOR this Melchisedec, king of Salem, a priest of God most high, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; to whom also Abraham gave a tenth share of all the spoil: being, as the interpretation of his name imports, first, King of righteousness, and then also King of Salem, that is, King of peace: without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but in exact resemblance with the Son of God, abideth a priest for ever. read more.
Now observe how great is this [Melchisedec], to whom even Abraham the patriarch gave the tenth of the spoils. For they indeed of the sons of Levi, who are admitted to priesthood, have an order to receive tithes from the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though also sprung from the loins of Abraham. But he who derived not his genealogy from them, received tithes from Abraham, and blessed him who had the promises; but without all dispute the inferior receives benediction from the superior. And here indeed dying men receive the tithes, but there he hath a testimony borne to him that he liveth. And, if I may so say, through Abraham even Levi, who receiveth tithes, paid tithes. For he was as yet in the loins of his father when Melchisedec met him. If therefore there was perfection by the Levitical priesthood (for under that the people had the law given to them), what farther need was there that another priest should arise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron? For the priesthood being transferred, there is of necessity an abrogation of the law also. For he to whom these things are spoken belonged to another tribe, in which no man approached the altar. For it is evident that our Lord sprang from Judah; to which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning the priesthood; and it is yet more abundantly evident, that there should arise another priest after the likeness of Melchisedec, who was not made such by the law of a carnal commandment, but by the power of a life indissoluble. For the testimony is, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. For there is indeed an abrogation of the preceding command, because of its weakness and inutility. For the law led to no perfection, but was an introduction to a better hope, by which we draw nigh unto God. Moreover, forasmuch as he was not [made priest] without an oath, (for they indeed were made priests without an oath; but he with an oath, by him who said unto him, "The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:")

Obedience » Jesus Christ being obedient
Let the same sentiment of mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: who being in the form of God counted it no usurpation to claim equality with God: but emptied himself, assuming the form of a servant, made after the similitude of mortal men; read more.
and found in fashion as man, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, even to the death of the cross.
and found in fashion as man, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, even to the death of the cross.
he then added, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He abolishes the first that he may establish the second. By the which will we are sanctified through the oblation of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all. And every priest standeth indeed daily performing the divine service, and frequently offering the same sacrifices, which cannot possibly take away sins: read more.
but this person, having offered one sacrifice for sins, for ever hath seated himself at the right hand of God; henceforth waiting till his enemies be put as a footstool for his feet. For by one oblation he hath made those perfect for ever who are sanctified.

For if by the offence of one, death reigned by that one; much more they who receive the abundance of grace, and of the gift of righteousness, shall reign in life by one, Christ Jesus. Well then, as by the offence of one, [judgment issued] against all men unto condemnation; so also by the righteousness of one, [the gift came] to all men for justification unto life. For as by the disobedience of one man the many were constituted sinners; so also by the obedience of one shall the many be constituted righteous.
So Christ also did not himself assume the glory to become high-priest, but he [gave it] who spake to him, "Thou art my Son; I have this day begotten thee." As he saith also in another passage, "Thou art priest forever after the order of Melchisedec;" who in the days of his flesh, with strong crying and tears, having offered up prayers and supplications to him who was able to save him from death, and being heard for his reverential awe, read more.
though he was a son, he learned obedience from the things which he suffered:
