Hebrews 7:17
For it has been witnessed of him, You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

Hebrews 7:17
For it has been witnessed of him, You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

Hebrews 7:1
For this Melchizedek, the king of Salem, a priest of the Most High God, who gave Abraham his blessing, meeting him when he came back after putting the kings to death,
Hebrews 7:3
Being without father or mother, or family, having no birth or end to his life, being made like the Son of God, is a priest for ever.
Hebrews 7:10
Because he was still in his father's body when Melchizedek came to him.
Hebrews 7:11
Now if it was possible for things to be made complete through the priests of the house of Levi (for the law was given to the people in connection with them), what need was there for another priest who was of the order of Melchizedek and not of the order of Aaron?
Hebrews 7:12
Because if the priests are changed, it is necessary to make a change in the law.
Hebrews 7:13
For he of whom these things are said comes of another tribe, of which no man has ever made offerings at the altar.
Hebrews 7:14
Because it is clear that our Lord comes out of Judah, and Moses said nothing about priests from that tribe.
Hebrews 7:15
And this is even more clear if a second priest has come up who is like Melchizedek,
Hebrews 7:16
That is to say, not made by a law based on the flesh, but by the power of a life without end:
Hebrews 7:17
For it has been witnessed of him, You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
Hebrews 7:18
So the law which went before is put on one side, because it was feeble and without profit.
-----
Hebrews 7:19
(Because the law made nothing complete), and in its place there is a better hope, through which we come near to God.
Hebrews 7:20
And as this is not without the taking of an oath
Hebrews 7:22
By so much is it a better agreement which we have through Jesus.
-----
Hebrews 7:23
And it is true that there have been a great number of those priests, because death does not let them go on for ever;
Hebrews 7:24
But this priest, because his life goes on for ever, is unchanging.
Hebrews 7:25
So that he is fully able to be the saviour of all who come to God through him, because he is ever living to make prayer to God for them.
Hebrews 7:26
It was right for us to have such a high priest, one who is holy and without evil, doing no wrong, having no part with sinners, and made higher than the heavens:
Hebrews 7:28
The law makes high priests of men who are feeble; but the word of the oath, which was made after the law, gives that position to a Son, in whom all good is for ever complete.
