For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; Gen 14:18-20Heb 6:20Mic 6:6Psa 57:2Dan 5:18Gen 16:14-16Mrk 5:7Psa 76:2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; Num 18:211Ch 22:91Sa 8:151Sa 8:172Sa 23:32Sa 8:15Gen 28:22Psa 45:4-7 Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually. Heb 7:17Exo 6:20-27Heb 7:23-28Heb 7:6Mat 4:31Ch 6:1-3Exo 6:18 Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils. Gen 14:20Act 2:29Act 7:8-9Gal 3:28-29Gen 12:2Gen 17:5-6Jas 2:23Rom 4:11-13 And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham: Lev 27:30-332Ch 31:4-6Num 16:10-11Num 18:21-321Ki 8:19Heb 7:10Neh 13:10Num 17:3-10 But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises. Rom 4:13Gen 13:14-17Gen 17:4-8Heb 7:3-4Heb 11:17Act 3:25Gal 3:16Gen 12:2 And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better. 2Ch 30:27Gen 48:15-201Ki 8:551Ti 3:162Co 13:142Sa 6:20Gen 27:20-40Luk 24:50-51 And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth. Heb 6:20Heb 5:6Rev 1:18Heb 7:23Jhn 14:19Heb 3:16Heb 9:24-25Jhn 14:6 And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham. Rom 5:12Gen 14:20Heb 7:4 For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him. Gen 35:11Gen 46:26Heb 7:51Ki 8:19 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron? Heb 8:7Gal 2:21Gal 4:9Heb 7:17-19Heb 5:6Heb 7:15Heb 7:21Heb 8:10-13 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. Jer 31:31-34Isa 66:21Act 6:13-14Ezk 16:61 For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar. Heb 7:11Heb 7:142Ch 26:16-21Num 17:5Num 16:40 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood. Mic 5:2Isa 11:1Luk 3:33Rev 5:5Gen 49:10Rev 22:16Rom 1:3Eph 1:3 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest, Psa 110:4Heb 7:11Heb 7:17-21Heb 7:3 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life. Col 2:20Gal 4:3Gal 4:9Rev 1:18Col 2:14Heb 10:1Heb 7:28Heb 7:3 For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. Psa 110:4Heb 5:6Heb 7:21Heb 7:15Heb 5:10Heb 6:20 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof. Rom 8:3Act 13:39Gal 4:9Heb 7:11-12Heb 7:19Heb 8:7-131Ti 4:8Gal 3:17 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God. Act 13:39Heb 4:16Heb 9:9Rom 8:3Heb 10:1Heb 11:40Heb 6:18Rom 5:2 And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest: Heb 5:6Num 18:7Psa 110:4 (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:) Psa 110:4Heb 7:17Heb 6:16-181Sa 15:29 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. 1Co 11:25Heb 8:6-12Gen 44:32Heb 12:24Heb 13:20Heb 9:15-23Luk 22:20Gen 43:9 And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death: Neh 12:10-111Ch 6:3-14Heb 7:8 But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. Heb 7:28Jhn 12:34Isa 9:6-7Rev 1:18Heb 13:8Heb 7:8-251Sa 2:35Rom 6:9 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. Rom 8:341Jn 2:1-21Ti 2:5Jhn 14:6Jud 1:24Eph 2:18Isa 45:22Rom 5:2 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; 2Co 5:211Pe 2:22Heb 4:14-151Jn 2:2Heb 8:1Heb 1:31Jn 3:5Eph 4:8-10 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this he did once, when he offered up himself. Heb 9:12Heb 9:28Heb 9:14Eph 5:2Heb 10:6-12Heb 5:3Rom 6:10Tit 2:14 For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore. Heb 2:10Heb 1:2Heb 7:21Heb 5:1-2Luk 13:32Psa 110:4Exo 32:21-22Heb 3:6
