This Melchizedek, king of Salem - which being priest of the most high God, met Abraham, as he returned again from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him: to whom also Abraham gave tithes of all things - first is, by interpretation, king of righteousness, after that he is king of Salem, that is to say king of peace, without father, without mother, without kin, and hath neither beginning of his time, neither yet end of his life: but is likened unto the son of God, and continueth a priest forever. read more.
Consider what a man this was, unto whom the patriarch Abraham gave tithes of the spoils. And verily those children of Levi, which receive the office of the priests, have a commandment to take according to the law, tithes of the people, that is to say, of their brethren, yea though they sprung out of the loins of Abraham. But he whose kindred is not counted among them, received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises. And no man denieth but that which is less, receiveth blessing of him which is greater. And here men that die receive tithes. But there he receiveth tithes of whom it is witnessed, that he liveth. And to say the truth, Levi himself also which receiveth tithes, paid tithes in Abraham. For he was yet in the loins of his father Abraham, when Melchizedek met him. If now therefore perfection came by the priesthood of the Levites - for under that priesthood the people received the law - what needed it furthermore that another priest should rise, after the order of Melchizedek, and not after the order of Aaron? Now no doubt, if the priesthood be translated, then of necessity must the law be translated also. For he of whom these things are spoken, pertaineth unto another tribe, of which never man served at the altar. For it is evident that our Lord sprung of the tribe of Judah, of which tribe spake Moses nothing concerning priesthood. And it is yet a more evident thing, if after the similitude of Melchizedek there arise another priest, which is not made after the law of the carnal commandment: but after the power of the endless life. For he testifieth, "Thou art a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek." Then the commandment that went afore, is disannulled, because of her weakness and unprofitableness. For the law made no thing perfect: but was an introduction of a better hope, by which hope, we draw nigh unto God. And for this cause it is a better hope, that it was not promised without an oath. Those priests were made without an oath: but this priest with an oath, by him that said unto him, "The Lord sware, and will not repent: Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek."

Obedience » Jesus Christ being obedient
Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus: Which, being in the shape of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God. Nevertheless, he made himself of no reputation, and took on him the shape of a servant, and became like unto men, and was found in his apparel as a man. read more.
He humbled himself and became obedient unto the death, even the death of the cross.
He humbled himself and became obedient unto the death, even the death of the cross.
And then he said, "Lo I am come to do thy will o God." He taketh away the first to establish the latter. By the which will we are sanctified, by the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And every priest is ready daily ministering, and often times offereth one manner of offering, which can never take away sins: read more.
but this man after he had offered one sacrifice for sins, sat him down for ever on the righthand of God, and from henceforth tarrieth till his foes be made his footstool. For with one offering hath he made perfect forever them that are sanctified.

For if by the sin of one, death reigned by the means of one, much more shall they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life by the means of one; that is to say, Jesus Christ. Likewise, then, as by the sin of one, condemnation came on all men: even so, by the justifying of one cometh the righteousness that bringeth life, upon all men. For as by one man's disobedience many became sinners: so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
Even so, likewise, Christ glorified not himself, to be made the high priest: but he that said unto him. "Thou art my son, this day begat I thee." As he also in another place speaketh, "Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek." Which in the days of his flesh, did offer up prayers and supplications, with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death: and was also heard, because of his godliness. read more.
And though he were God's son, yet learned he obedience, by those things which he suffered,
