Being named by God a high priest of the order of Melchizedek.
And Melchizedek, king of Salem, the priest of the Most High God, took bread and wine,
The Lord has made an oath, and will not take it back. You are a priest for ever, after the order of Melchizedek.
Because of this it was necessary for him to be made like his brothers in every way, so that he might be a high priest full of mercy and keeping faith in everything to do with God, making offerings for the sins of the people.
For this reason, holy brothers, marked out to have a part in heaven, give thought to Jesus the representative and high priest of our faith;
Of whom we have much to say which it is hard to make clear, because you are slow of hearing.
Where Jesus has gone before us, as a high priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
