1For this Melchisedech was king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him:

stylus

Genesis 14:18, Genesis 14:20, Genesis 14:18, Genesis 14:20, Psalms 57:2

2To whom also Abraham divided the tithes of all: who first indeed by interpretation is king of justice: and then also king of Salem, that is, king of peace:

stylus

Numbers 18:21, Numbers 18:21, 1 Samuel 8:17, 1 Chronicles 22:9, 1 Samuel 8:15

3Without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but likened unto the Son of God, continueth a priest for ever.

stylus

Hebrews 7:17, Hebrews 7:17, Hebrews 7:23, Hebrews 7:28, Hebrews 7:6

4Now consider how great this man is, to whom also Abraham the patriarch gave tithes out of the principal things.

stylus

Genesis 14:20, Genesis 14:20, Acts 2:29, Acts 2:29, Genesis 17:5

5And indeed they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is to say, of their brethren: though they themselves also came out of the loins of Abraham.

stylus

Numbers 18:21, Numbers 18:32, Leviticus 27:30, Leviticus 27:33, 2 Chronicles 31:4

6But he, whose pedigree is not numbered among them, received tithes of Abraham and blessed him that had the promises.

stylus

Romans 4:13, Romans 4:13, Genesis 17:4, Genesis 17:8, Hebrews 7:3

7And without all contradiction, that which is less is blessed by the better.

stylus

2 Chronicles 30:27, Genesis 48:15, Genesis 48:20, 2 Chronicles 30:27, Genesis 48:15

8And here indeed, men that die receive tithes: but there, he hath witness that he liveth.

stylus

Hebrews 6:20, Hebrews 6:20, Hebrews 5:6, Hebrews 5:6, Revelation 1:18

9And (as it may be said) even Levi who received tithes paid tithes in Abraham:

stylus

Romans 5:12, Genesis 14:20, Romans 5:12, Genesis 14:20, Hebrews 7:4

10For he was yet in the loins of his father when Melchisedech met him.

stylus

Genesis 35:11, Genesis 46:26, Hebrews 7:5, Genesis 35:11, Genesis 46:26

11If then perfection was by the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need was there that another priest should rise according to the order of Melchisedech: and not be called according to the order of Aaron?

stylus

Hebrews 8:7, Hebrews 8:7, Galatians 2:21, Galatians 2:21, Hebrews 7:17

12For the priesthood being translated, it is necessary that a translation also be made of the law,

stylus

Jeremiah 31:31, Jeremiah 31:34, Isaiah 66:21, Jeremiah 31:31, Jeremiah 31:34

13For he of whom these things are spoken is of another tribe, of which no one attended on the altar.

stylus

Hebrews 7:11, Hebrews 7:11, Hebrews 7:14, Hebrews 7:14, 2 Chronicles 26:16

14For it is evident that our Lord sprung out of Juda: in which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priests.

stylus

Micah 5:2, Micah 5:2, Isaiah 11:1, Isaiah 11:1, Revelation 5:5

15And it is yet far more evident: if according to the similitude of Melchisedech there ariseth another priest,

stylus

Psalms 110:4, Psalms 110:4, Hebrews 7:11, Hebrews 7:17, Hebrews 7:21

16Who is made, not according to the law of a law of a carnal commandment, but according to the power of an indissoluble life.

stylus

Colossians 2:20, Colossians 2:20, Hebrews 10:1, Hebrews 7:3, Colossians 2:14

17For he testifieth: Thou art a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedech.

stylus

Psalms 110:4, Psalms 110:4, Hebrews 5:6, Hebrews 5:6, Hebrews 7:21

18There is indeed a setting aside of the former commandment, because of the weakness and unprofitableness thereof:

stylus

Romans 8:3, Romans 8:3, Acts 13:39, Acts 13:39, Hebrews 7:11

19For the law brought nothing to perfection: but a bringing in of a better hope, by which we draw nigh to God.

stylus

Acts 13:39, Acts 13:39, Hebrews 4:16, Hebrews 4:16, Hebrews 9:9

20And inasmuch as it is not without an oath (for the others indeed were made priests without an oath:

stylus

Numbers 18:7, Numbers 18:7, Hebrews 5:6, Psalms 110:4, Hebrews 5:6

21But this with an oath, by him that said unto him: The Lord hath sworn and he will not repent: Thou art a priest for ever).

stylus

Psalms 110:4, Psalms 110:4, Hebrews 7:17, Hebrews 7:17, Hebrews 6:16

22By so much is Jesus made a surety of a better testament.

stylus

1 Corinthians 11:25, 1 Corinthians 11:25, Hebrews 8:6, Hebrews 8:12, Genesis 44:32

23And the others indeed were made many priests, because by reason of death they were not suffered to continue:

stylus

Nehemiah 12:10, Nehemiah 12:11, Nehemiah 12:10, Nehemiah 12:11, Hebrews 7:8

24But this, for that he continueth for ever, hath an everlasting priesthood:

stylus

Hebrews 7:28, Hebrews 7:28, John 12:34, John 12:34, Isaiah 9:6

25Whereby he is able also to save for ever them that come to God by him; always living to make intercession for us.

stylus

Romans 8:34, Romans 8:34, 1 John 2:1, 1 John 2:2, 1 John 2:1

26For it was fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens:

stylus

Hebrews 4:14, Hebrews 4:15, Hebrews 4:14, Hebrews 4:15, 2 Corinthians 5:21

27Who needeth not daily (as the other priests) to offer sacrifices, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, in offering himself.

stylus

Hebrews 9:12, Hebrews 9:28, Hebrews 9:12, Hebrews 9:28, Hebrews 9:14

28For the law maketh men priests, who have infirmity: but the word of the oath (which was since the law) the Son who is perfected for evermore.

stylus

Hebrews 2:10, Hebrews 2:10, Hebrews 1:2, Hebrews 7:21, Hebrews 1:2
