Hebrew 5: Chapter 5, Verse 5-6So also Christ did not glorify Himself to become High Priest, but it was God who said to Him:
"You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You,
According to the order of Melchizedek."
Hebrew: Chapter 7
Verse 1-4: For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him, to whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all, first being translated "king of righteousness", and then also king of Salem, meaning "king of peace." Without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God, remains a priest continually. Now consider how great this man was, to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth of the spoils.
Verse 11-12: Therefore, if perfection were through Levitical priesthood (for under it the people of Israel received the law), what further need was there that another priest should rise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be called according to the order of Aaron? For the priesthood being changed, of necessity there is also a change of law.
Verse 14-17: For it is evident that our Lord arose from Judah, of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood. In the likeness of Melchizedek, there ariese another priest who has come, not according to the law of a fleshly commandment, but according to the power of an endless life. For God testifies:"Jesus is a High Priest forever.
According to the order of Melchizedek."
