⁶ And in another passage God said to him,

¹⁷ And the psalmist pointed this out when he prophesied,

²¹ but there was an oath regarding Jesus. For God said to him,

³ There is no record of his father or mother or any of his ancestors—no beginning or end to his life. He remains a priest forever, resembling the Son of God.

¹⁰ And God designated him to be a High Priest in the order of Melchizedek.

¹⁸ And Melchizedek, the king of Salem and a priest of God Most High,^[a] brought Abram some bread and wine. ¹⁹ Melchizedek blessed Abram with this blessing:

²⁰ Jesus has already gone in there for us. He has become our eternal High Priest in the order of Melchizedek.

Jesus Is like Melchizedek

¹⁵ This change has been made very clear since a different priest, who is like Melchizedek, has appeared.
