Евреи 7
Библия, синодално издание
7 (A)Защото тоя Мелхиседек – цар на Салим, свещеник на Всевишния Бог, който посрещна Авраама, когато този се връщаше от разбиването на царете, и го благослови,
2 комуто Авраам отдели и десятък от всичко и който по значение на името си първом е цар на правда, а после и цар на Салим, сиреч, цар на мир,
3 без баща, без майка, без родословие, нямащ нито начало на дни, нито край на живот и, по такъв начин, е уподобен на Сина Божий, – пребъдва завинаги свещеник.
4 Виждате, колко е велик оня, комуто патриарх Авраам даде и десятък от най-добрата си плячка.
5 (B)Ония от Левиевите синове, които приемат свещенство, имат заповед, да взимат по закона десятък от народа, сиреч от братята си, макар и тия да са произлезли от Авраамовите чресла.
6 (C)Но той, без да произлиза от техния род, взе десятък от Авраама и благослови оногова, който имаше обещанията.
7 Безспорно е, че по-малкият се благославя от по-големия.
8 Тук смъртни човеци вземат десятъци, а там – оня, за когото има свидетелство, че е жив.
9 И, тъй да кажа, сам Левий, който взема десятъци, даде десятък чрез Авраама:
10 защото беше още в чреслата на баща си, когато го посреща Мелхиседек.
11 (D)И тъй, ако съвършенство се достигаше чрез левитското свещенство (защото въз основа на него народът получи закон), каква още нужда, да се въздига друг свещеник по чина Мелхиседеков, и да се не нарича по чина Ааронов?
12 Защото, промени ли се свещенството, става нужда да се промени и законът.
13 А Оня, за Когото се казва това, принадлежеше към друго коляно, от което никой не бе се приближавал до жертвеника;
14 (E)защото явно е, че Господ наш възсия от Иуда, а за свещенство в неговото коляно Моисей нищо не е казал.
15 И още по-явно става това, когато подобно на Мелхиседека се въздига друг Свещеник,
16 Който не по закона на плътска заповед е станал такъв, а по силата на безкраен живот.
17 (F)Защото свидетелствува се: „Ти си свещеник навеки по чина Мелхиседеков“.
18 (G)А пък отменяване на предишна заповед става поради нейната слабост и безполезност,
19 (H)защото законът не докара нищо до съвършенство; а въведе се по-добра надежда, чрез която се приближаваме до Бога.
20 И доколкото това ставаше не без клетва
21 (I)(защото ония бяха станали свещеници без клетва, а Тоя – с клетва, чрез Оногова, Който Му казва: „кле се Господ и няма да се разкае: Ти си свещеник навеки по чина Мелхиседеков“),
22 (J)дотолкова на по-добър завет поръчител стана Иисус.
23 Ония станаха един след друг много свещеници, защото смъртта не им даваше да пребъдват;
24 а Тоя, понеже Сам пребъдва вечно, има свещенство, което не преминава към другиго.
25 (K)Затова Той може и винаги да спасява ония, които дохождат чрез Него при Бога, понеже е всякога жив, за да ходатайствува за тях.
26 (L)Защото такъв Първосвещеник ни и трябваше: свет, незлобив, непорочен, отделен от грешниците и станал по-висок от небесата,
27 (M)Който няма нужда всекидневно, както първосвещениците, да принася жертви първом за Своите грехове, та сетне за греховете на народа, защото Той извърши това веднъж завинаги, като се принесе Сам в жертва.
28 (N)Защото законът поставя за първосвещеници човеци, които имат немощи; а клетвеното след закона слово постави Сина, Който е навеки съвършен.
Hebrews 7
New King James Version
The King of Righteousness(A)
7 For this (B)Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him, 2 to whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all, first being translated “king of righteousness,” and then also king of Salem, meaning “king of peace,” 3 without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God, remains a priest continually.
4 Now consider how great this man was, to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth of the [a]spoils. 5 And indeed (C)those who are of the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood, have a commandment to receive tithes from the people according to the law, that is, from their brethren, though they have come from the loins of Abraham; 6 but he whose genealogy is not derived from them received tithes from Abraham (D)and blessed (E)him who had the promises. 7 Now beyond all contradiction the lesser is blessed by the better. 8 Here mortal men receive tithes, but there he receives them, (F)of whom it is witnessed that he lives. 9 Even Levi, who receives tithes, paid tithes through Abraham, so to speak, 10 for he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.
Need for a New Priesthood(G)
11 (H)Therefore, if perfection were through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need was there that another priest should rise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be called according to the order of Aaron? 12 For the priesthood being changed, of necessity there is also a change of the law. 13 For He of whom these things are spoken belongs to another tribe, from which no man has [b]officiated at the altar.
14 For it is evident that (I)our Lord arose from (J)Judah, of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning [c]priesthood. 15 And it is yet far more evident if, in the likeness of Melchizedek, there arises another priest 16 who has come, not according to the law of a fleshly commandment, but according to the power of an endless life. 17 For [d]He testifies:
(K)“You are a priest forever
According to the order of Melchizedek.”
18 For on the one hand there is an annulling of the former commandment because of (L)its weakness and unprofitableness, 19 for (M)the law made nothing [e]perfect; on the other hand, there is the bringing in of (N)a better hope, through which (O)we draw near to God.
Greatness of the New Priest
20 And inasmuch as He was not made priest without an oath 21 (for they have become priests without an oath, but He with an oath by Him who said to Him:
(P)“The Lord has sworn
And will not relent,
‘You are a priest [f]forever
According to the order of Melchizedek’ ”),
22 by so much more Jesus has become a [g]surety of a (Q)better covenant.
23 Also there were many priests, because they were prevented by death from continuing. 24 But He, because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood. 25 Therefore He is also (R)able to save [h]to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives (S)to make intercession for them.
26 For such a High Priest was fitting for us, (T)who is holy, [i]harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, (U)and has become higher than the heavens; 27 who does not need daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His (V)own sins and then for the people’s, for this He did once for all when He offered up Himself. 28 For the law appoints as high priests men who have weakness, but the word of the oath, which came after the law, appoints the Son who has been perfected forever.

Hebrews 7
King James Version
7 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;
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;
3 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.
4 Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.
5 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:
6 But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.
7 And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.
8 And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.
9 And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.
10 For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.
11 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?
12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
13 For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.
14 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.
15 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,
16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
17 For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
18 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.
19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.
20 And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:
21 (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:)
22 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
23 And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:
24 But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.
25 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.
26 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
27 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.
28 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.
Hebrews 7
American Standard Version
7 For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him, 2 to whom also Abraham divided a tenth part of all (being first, by interpretation, King of righteousness, and then also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; 3 without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like unto the Son of God), abideth a priest continually.
4 Now consider how great this man was, unto whom Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth out of the chief spoils. 5 And they indeed of the sons of Levi that receive the priest’s office have commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though these have come out of the loins of Abraham: 6 but he whose genealogy is not counted from them hath taken tithes of Abraham, and hath blessed him that hath the promises. 7 But without any dispute the less is blessed of the better. 8 And here men that die receive tithes; but there one, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth. 9 And, so to say, through Abraham even Levi, who receiveth tithes, hath paid tithes; 10 for he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchizedek met him.
11 Now if there was perfection through the Levitical priesthood (for under it hath the people received the law), what further need was there that another priest should arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be reckoned after the order of Aaron? 12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. 13 For he of whom these things are said [a]belongeth to another tribe, from which no man hath given attendance at the altar. 14 For it is evident that our Lord hath sprung out of Judah; as to which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priests. 15 And what we say is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there ariseth another priest, 16 who hath been made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an [b]endless life: 17 for it is witnessed of him,
[c]Thou art a priest for ever
After the order of Melchizedek.
18 For there is a disannulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness 19 (for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in thereupon of a better hope, through which we draw nigh unto God. 20 And inasmuch as it is not without the taking of an oath 21 (for they indeed have been made priests without an oath; but he with an oath [d]by him that saith [e]of him,
[f]The Lord sware and will not repent himself,
Thou art a priest for ever);
22 by so much also hath Jesus become the surety of a better covenant. 23 And they indeed have been made priests many in number, because that by death they are hindered from continuing: 24 but he, because he abideth for ever, [g]hath his priesthood [h]unchangeable. 25 Wherefore also he is able to save [i]to the uttermost them that draw near unto God through him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. 26 For such a high priest became us, holy, guileless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; 27 who needeth not daily, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people: for this he did once for all, when he offered up himself. 28 For the law appointeth men high priests, having infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was after the law, appointeth a Son, perfected for evermore.
