Hebrews, Chapter 7

   1: For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;
   2: To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;
   3: Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like to the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.
   4: Now consider how great this man [was], to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.
   5: And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes from the people according to the law, that is, from their brethren, though they come from the loins of Abraham:
   6: But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes from Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.
   7: And without all contradiction the less is blessed by the better.
   8: And here men that die receive tithes; but there he [receiveth them], of whom it is testified that he liveth.
   9: And as I may say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.
   10: For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.
   11: If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law) what further need [was there] that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
   12: For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
   13: For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.
   14: For [it is] evident that our Lord sprang from Judah; of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.
   15: And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,
   16: Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
   17: For he testifieth, Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
   18: For there is verily a disannulling of the preceding commandment on account of its weakness and unprofitableness.
   19: For the law made nothing perfect, but the introduction of a better hope [did]; by which we draw nigh to God.
   20: And inasmuch as not without an oath [he was made priest]:
   21: (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath, by him that said to him, The Lord swore, and will not repent, Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)
   22: By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
   23: And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:
   24: But this [man], because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.
   25: Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come to God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
   26: For such a high priest became us, [who is] holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
   27: Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.
   28: For the law maketh men high priests who have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was after the law, [maketh] the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.
