English Standard Version
Jesus Compared to Melchizedek
11 (A)Now if perfection had been attainable through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need would there have been for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, rather than one named after the order of Aaron?

Hebrews 7:17-19
English Standard Version
17 For it is witnessed of him,
(A)“You are a priest forever,
after the order of Melchizedek.”
18 For on the one hand, a former commandment is set aside (B)because of its weakness and uselessness 19 (for (C)the law made nothing perfect); but on the other hand, (D)a better hope is introduced, through which (E)we draw near to God.

Hebrews 8:10-13
English Standard Version
10 (A)For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel
after those days, declares the Lord:
I will put my laws into their minds,
and (B)write them on their hearts,
and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
11 And they shall not teach, each one his neighbor
and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’
for they shall (C)all know me,
from the least of them to the greatest.
12 For I will be merciful toward their iniquities,
(D)and I will remember their sins no more.”
13 In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And (E)what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

Colossians 2:10-17
English Standard Version
10 and (A)you have been filled in him, who is (B)the head of all rule and authority. 11 In him also (C)you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by (D)putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12 (E)having been buried with him in baptism, in which (F)you were also raised with him through faith in (G)the powerful working of God, (H)who raised him from the dead. 13 (I)And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God (J)made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, 14 by (K)canceling (L)the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. 15 (M)He disarmed the rulers and authorities[a] and (N)put them to open shame, by (O)triumphing over them in him.[b]
Let No One Disqualify You
16 Therefore let no one (P)pass judgment on you (Q)in questions of food and drink, or with regard to (R)a festival or (S)a new moon or a Sabbath. 17 (T)These are a shadow of the things to come, but (U)the substance belongs to Christ.

Hebrews 10:1-4
English Standard Version
Christ's Sacrifice Once for All
10 For since the law has but (A)a shadow (B)of the good things to come instead of the true form of these realities, (C)it can never, by the same sacrifices that are continually offered every year, make perfect those who draw near. 2 Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, since the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have any consciousness of sins? 3 But (D)in these sacrifices (E)there is a reminder of sins every year. 4 For (F)it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
