麥基洗德的地位

原來這麥基洗德——

撒冷之王,至高神的祭司,
亞伯拉罕殺敗眾王回來的時候,去迎接他、祝福他,
亞伯拉罕就從所得來的一切中,把十分之一獻給[a]他。
麥基洗德」翻譯出來,首先是「公義之王」,
然後又是「撒冷之王」——這意思是「和平之王」。
他沒有父親,沒有母親,沒有族譜,
沒有年歲的開始,也沒有生命的終結,
與神的兒子相似,持久做祭司,直到永遠。

Melchizedek the Priest

This Melchizedek was king of Salem(A) and priest of God Most High.(B) He met Abraham returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him,(C) and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything. First, the name Melchizedek means “king of righteousness”; then also, “king of Salem” means “king of peace.” Without father or mother, without genealogy,(D) without beginning of days or end of life, resembling the Son of God,(E) he remains a priest forever.
