For [1063] this [3778] Melchisedec [3198], king [0935] of Salem [4532], priest [2409] of the most high [5310] God [2316], who [3588] met [4876] [5660] Abraham [0011] returning [5290] [5723] from [0575] the slaughter [2871] of the kings [0935], and [2532] blessed [2127] [5660] him [0846];
2
To whom [3739] also [2532] Abraham [0011] gave [3307] [5656] a tenth part [1181] of [0575] all [3956]; first [4412] [3303] being by interpretation [2059] [5746] King [0935] of righteousness [1343], and [1161] after that [1899] also [2532] King [0935] of Salem [4532], which [3603] is [2076] [5748], King [0935] of peace [1515];
3
Without father [0540], without mother [0282], without descent [0035], having [2192] [5723] neither [3383] beginning [0746] of days [2250], nor [3383] end [5056] of life [2222]; but [1161] made like [0871] [5772] unto the Son [5207] of God [2316]; abideth [3306] [5719] a priest [2409] continually [1519] [1336].
4
Now [1161] consider [2334] [5719] [5720] how great [4080] this man [3778] [was], unto whom [3739] even [2532] the patriarch [3966] Abraham [0011] gave [1325] [5656] the tenth [1181] of [1537] the spoils [0205].
5
And [2532] verily [3303] they that are of [1537] the sons [5207] of Levi [3017], who [3588] receive [2983] [5723] the office of the priesthood [2405], have [2192] [5719] a commandment [1785] to take tithes [0586] [5721] of the people [2992] according to [2596] the law [3551], that is [5123] [5748], of their [0848] brethren [0080], though [2539] they come [1831] [5761] out of [1537] the loins [3751] of Abraham [0011]:
6
But [1161] he whose descent is [1075] [0000] not [3361] counted [1075] [5746] from [1537] them [0846] received tithes [1183] [5758] of Abraham [0011], and [2532] blessed [2127] [5758] him that had [2192] [5723] the promises [1860].
7
And [1161] without [5565] all [3956] contradiction [0485] the less [1640] is blessed [2127] [5743] of [5259] the better [2909].
8
And [2532] here [5602] [3303] men [0444] that die [0599] [5723] receive [2983] [5719] tithes [1181]; but [1161] there [1563] he [receiveth them], of whom it is witnessed [3140] [5746] that [3754] he liveth [2198] [5719].
9
And [2532] as [5613] I may so say [2031] [2036] [5629], Levi [3017] also [2532], who [3588] receiveth [2983] [5723] tithes [1181], payed tithes [1183] [5769] in [1223] Abraham [0011].
10
For [1063] he was [2258] [5713] yet [2089] in [1722] the loins [3751] of his father [3962], when [3753] Melchisedec [3198] met [4876] [5656] him [0846].
11
If [1487] [3303] therefore [3767] perfection [5050] were [2258] [5713] by [1223] the Levitical [3020] priesthood [2420], (for [1063] under [1909] it [0846] the people [2992] received the law [3549] [5718]) what [5101] further [2089] need [5532] [was there] that another [2087] priest [2409] should rise [0450] [5733] after [2596] the order [5010] of Melchisedec [3198], and [2532] not [3756] be called [3004] [5745] after [2596] the order [5010] of Aaron [0002]?
12
For [1063] the priesthood [2420] being changed [3346] [5746], there is made [1096] [5736] of [1537] necessity [0318] a change [3331] also [2532] of the law [3551].
13
For [1063] he of [1909] whom [3739] these things [5023] are spoken [3004] [5743] pertaineth [3348] [5758] to another [2087] tribe [5443], of [0575] which [3739] no man [3762] gave attendance [4337] [5758] at the altar [2379].
14
For [1063] [it is] evident [4271] that [3754] our [2257] Lord [2962] sprang [0393] [5758] out of [1537] Juda [2455]; of [1519] which [3739] tribe [5443] Moses [3475] spake [2980] [5656] nothing [3762] concerning [4012] priesthood [2420].
15
And [2532] it is [2076] [5748] yet [2089] far more [4054] evident [2612]: for [1487] that after [2596] the similitude [3665] of Melchisedec [3198] there ariseth [0450] [5731] another [2087] priest [2409],
16
Who [3739] is made [1096] [5754], not [3756] after [2596] the law [3551] of a carnal [4559] commandment [1785], but [0235] after [2596] the power [1411] of an endless [0179] life [2222].
17
For [1063] he testifieth [3140] [5719], [3754] Thou [4771] [art] a priest [2409] for [1519] ever [0165] after [2596] the order [5010] of Melchisedec [3198].
18
For [1063] there is [1096] [5736] verily [3303] a disannulling [0115] of the commandment [1785] going before [4254] [5723] for [1223] the weakness [0772] and [2532] unprofitableness [0512] thereof [0846].
19
For [1063] the law [3551] made [5048] [0000] nothing [3762] perfect [5048] [5656], but [1161] the bringing in [1898] of a better [2909] hope [1680] [did]; by [1223] the which [3739] we draw nigh [1448] [5719] unto God [2316].
20
And [2532] inasmuch as [2596] [3745] not [3756] without [5565] an oath [3728] [he was made priest]:
21
(For [1063] those priests [2409] were [3303] [1526] [5748] made [1096] [5756] without [5565] an oath [3728]; but [1161] this with [3326] an oath [3728] by [1223] him that said [3004] [5723] unto [4314] him [0846], The Lord [2962] sware [3660] [5656] and [2532] will [3338] [0000] not [3756] repent [3338] [5700], Thou [4771] [art] a priest [2409] for [1519] ever [0165] after [2596] the order [5010] of Melchisedec [3198])
22
By [2596] so much [5118] was [1096] [0000] Jesus [2424] made [1096] [5754] a surety [1450] of a better [2909] testament [1242].
23
And [2532] they [1526] [0000] truly [3303] were [1526] [5748] [1096] [5756] many [4119] priests [2409], because [1223] they were not suffered [2967] [5745] to continue [3887] [5721] by reason of [1223] death [2288]:
24
But [1161] this [man], because [1223] he [0846] continueth [3306] [5721] ever [1519] [0165], hath [2192] [5719] an unchangeable [0531] priesthood [2420].
25
Wherefore [3606] he is able [1410] [5736] also [2532] to save them [4982] [5721] to [1519] the uttermost [3838] that come [4334] [5740] unto God [2316] by [1223] him [0846], seeing he ever [3842] liveth [2198] [5723] to [1519] make intercession [1793] [5721] for [5228] them [0846].
26
For [1063] such [5108] an high priest [0749] became [4241] [5707] us [2254], [who is] holy [3741], harmless [0172], undefiled [0283], separate [5563] [5772] from [0575] sinners [0268], and [2532] made [1096] [5637] higher than [5308] the heavens [3772];
27
Who [3739] needeth [2192] [5719] [0318] not [3756] daily [2596] [2250], as [5618] those high priests [0749], to offer up [0399] [5721] sacrifice [2378], first [4386] for [5228] his own [2398] sins [0266], and then [1899] for the people's [2992]: for [1063] this [5124] he did [4160] [5656] once [2178], when he offered up [0399] [5660] himself [1438].
28
For [1063] the law [3551] maketh [2525] [5719] men [0444] high priests [0749] which have [2192] [5723] infirmity [0769]; but [1161] the word [3056] of the oath [3728], which [3588] was since [3326] the law [3551], [maketh] the Son [5207], who is consecrated [5048] [5772] for [1519] evermore [0165].
