\v 1 It was this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him.
\v 2 It was to him that Abraham gave a tenth of everything. His name "Melchizedek" means "king of righteousness," and also "king of Salem," that is, "king of peace."
\v 3 He is without father, without mother, without ancestors, without any beginning of days nor end of life. Instead, he resembles the Son of God, because he remains a priest forever.

\v 7 There is no denying that the lesser person is blessed by the greater person.
\v 8 On one hand, men who receive tithes will die one day. But on the other hand, the one who received Abraham's tithe is testified as living on.
\v 8 In the one case, mortal men receive tithes, but here it is testified that he lives on.
\v 9 And, in a manner of speaking, Levi, who received tithes, also paid tithes through Abraham,

\v 11 Now if perfection were possible through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need would there have been for another priest to arise after the manner of Melchizedek, and not be considered to be after the manner of Aaron?

\v 12 For when the priesthood is changed, the law must also be changed.

\v 14 Now clearly, it is from Judah that our Lord was born, a tribe that Moses never mentioned concerning priests.

\v 27 He does not need, unlike the high priests, to offer up daily sacrifices, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He did this once for all, when he offered up himself.
