Hebrews 6:20-7:4
New King James Version
20 (A)where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, (B)having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.
The King of Righteousness(C)
7 For this (D)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.

Melchizedek the Priest
7 This Melchizedek was king of Salem(D) and priest of God Most High.(E) He met Abraham returning from the defeat of the kings and blessed him,(F) 2 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.” 3 Without father or mother, without genealogy,(G) without beginning of days or end of life, resembling the Son of God,(H) he remains a priest forever.
4 Just think how great he was: Even the patriarch(I) Abraham gave him a tenth of the plunder!(J)
