1
For this
Melchizedek,
king
of Salem,
priest
of the Most High
God,
who met
Abraham
as he was returning
from the slaughter
of the kings
and blessed
him,
2
to whom
also
Abraham
apportioned
a tenth part
of all
the spoils, was first
of all
,
by the translation
of his name,
king
of righteousness,
and then
also
king
of Salem,
which
is
king
of peace.
3
Without father,
without mother,
without genealogy,
having
neither
beginning
of days
nor
end
of life,
but made like
the Son
of God,
he remains
a priest
perpetually.
4
Now
observe
how great
this man
was to whom
Abraham,
the patriarch,
gave
a tenth
of the choicest spoils.
5
And those
indeed
of the sons
of Levi
who receive
the priest's office
have
commandment
in the Law
to collect a tenth
from the people,
that is, from their brethren,
although
these are descended
from Abraham.
6
But the one whose genealogy is not traced
from them collected a tenth
from Abraham
and blessed
the one who had
the promises.
7
But without
any
dispute
the lesser
is blessed
by the greater.
8
In this case
mortal
men
receive
tithes,
but in that case
one receives them, of whom it is witnessed
that he lives
on.
9
And, so
to speak,
through
Abraham
even
Levi,
who received
tithes,
paid
tithes,
10
for he was still
in the loins
of his father
when
Melchizedek
met
him.
11
Now
if
perfection
was through
the Levitical
priesthood
(for on the basis
of it the people
received the Law),
what
further
need
was there for another
priest
to arise
according
to the order
of Melchizedek,
and not be designated
according
to the order
of Aaron?
12
For when the priesthood
is changed,
of necessity
there takes place
a change
of law
also.
13
For the one concerning
whom
these things
are spoken
belongs
to another
tribe,
from which
no one
has officiated
at the altar.
14
For it is evident
that our Lord
was descended
from Judah,
a tribe
with reference
to which
Moses
spoke
nothing
concerning
priests.
15
And this is clearer
still,
if
another
priest
arises
according
to the likeness
of Melchizedek,
16
who
has become
such not on the basis
of a law
of physical
requirement,
but according
to the power
of an indestructible
life.
17
For it is attested
of Him, "YOU ARE A PRIEST
FOREVER
ACCORDING
TO THE ORDER
OF MELCHIZEDEK."
18
For, on the one hand,
there is a setting aside
of a former
commandment
because
of its weakness
and uselessness
19
(for the Law
made
nothing
perfect),
and on the other hand
there is a bringing
in of a better
hope,
through
which
we draw near
to God.
20
And inasmuch
as it was not without
an oath
21
(for they indeed
became
priests
without
an oath, but He with an oath
through
the One who said
to Him, "THE LORD
HAS SWORN
AND WILL NOT CHANGE HIS MIND,
'YOU ARE A PRIEST
FOREVER '");
22
so much
the more
also
Jesus
has become
the guarantee
of a better
covenant.
23
The former priests,
on the one hand,
existed
in greater numbers
because
they were prevented
by death
from continuing,
24
but Jesus, on the other hand,
because
He continues
forever,
holds
His priesthood
permanently.
25
Therefore
He is able
also
to save
forever
those
who draw near
to God
through
Him, since He always
lives
to make intercession
for them.
26
For it was fitting
for us to have such
a high priest,
holy,
innocent,
undefiled,
separated
from sinners
and exalted
above the heavens;
27
who
does not need
daily,
like
those
high priests,
to offer
up sacrifices,
first
for His own
sins
and then
for the
sins
of the people,
because
this
He did
once for all
when He offered
up Himself.
28
For the Law
appoints
men
as high priests
who are weak,
but the word
of the oath,
which came after
the Law,
appoints
a Son,
made perfect
forever.
