Hebrews 7:1-3
New Century Version
The Priest Melchizedek
7 Melchizedek[a] was the king of Salem and a priest for God Most High. He met Abraham when Abraham was coming back after defeating the kings. When they met, Melchizedek blessed Abraham, 2 and Abraham gave him a tenth of everything he had brought back from the battle. First, Melchizedek’s name means “king of goodness,” and he is king of Salem, which means “king of peace.” 3 No one knows who Melchizedek’s father or mother was,[b] where he came from, when he was born, or when he died. Melchizedek is like the Son of God; he continues being a priest forever.
