This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,

5Now the law commands the sons of Levi who become priests to collect a tenth from the people—that is, from their brothers—though they too are descended from Abraham.

6But Melchizedek, who did not trace his descent from Levi, collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed him who had the promises.

8In the case of the Levites, mortal men collect the tenth; but in the case of Melchizedek, it is affirmed that he lives on.

9And so to speak, Levi, who collects the tenth, paid the tenth through Abraham.

11Now if perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood (for on this basis the people received the law), why was there still need for another priest to appear—one in the order of Melchizedek and not in the order of Aaron?

12For when the priesthood is changed, the law must be changed as well.

14For it is clear that our Lord descended from Judah, a tribe as to which Moses said nothing about priests.

18So the former commandment is set aside because it was weak and useless

20And none of this happened without an oath. For others became priests without an oath,

21but Jesus became a priest with an oath by the One who said to Him: “The Lord has sworn and will not change His mind: ‘You are a priest forever.’”

23Now there have been many other priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office.

24But because Jesus lives forever, He has a permanent priesthood.

26Such a high priest truly befits us—One who is holy, innocent, undefiled, set apart from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.

27Unlike the other high priests, He does not need to offer daily sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people; He sacrificed for sin once for all when He offered up Himself.
