Hebrews 7:1-3

International Standard Version

The Messiah is Superior to Melchizedek

7 Now this man Melchizedek, king of Salem and priest of the Most High God, met Abraham and blessed him when he was returning from defeating the kings. ² Abraham gave Melchizedek^[a] a tenth of everything.^[b] In the first place, his name means “king of righteousness,” and then he is also king of Salem, that is, “king of peace.” ³ He has no father, mother, or genealogy, no birth date recorded for him, nor a date of death.^[c] Like the Son of God, he continues to be a priest forever.
