¹⁷ Because en hos God theos wanted boulomai to show more perissoteros · ho clearly epideiknymi to the ho heirs klēronomos of the ho promise epangelia the ho unchanging ametathetos nature of ho his autos purpose boulē, he confirmed mesiteuō it with an oath horkos, ¹⁸ so that hina through dia two dyo unchangeable ametathetos facts pragma, in en which hos it is impossible adynatos for God theos to lie pseudomai, · ho we echō who ho have taken refuge katapheugō might have echō strong ischuros incentive paraklēsis to hold fast krateō to the ho hope elpis set before prokeimai us. ¹⁹ We have echō this hos hope as hōs an anchor ankyra for ho life psychē, both te sure asphalēs and kai steadfast bebaios— · kai a hope that enters eiserchomai the ho inner shrine esōteros behind the ho veil katapetasma, ²⁰ where hopou Jesus Iēsous has entered eiserchomai on hyper our hēmeis behalf hyper as forerunner prodromos, having become ginomai a high priest archiereus for eis all ho time aiōn according to kata the ho order taxis of Melchizedek Melchisedek.

7 For gar this houtos · ho Melchizedek Melchisedek, king basileus of Salem Salēm, priest hiereus of the ho Most High hypsistos God theos, · ho · ho met synantaō Abraham Abraam returning hypostrephō from apo the ho defeat kopē of the ho kings basileus and kai blessed eulogeō him autos, ² and kai to him hos Abraham Abraam allotted merizō a tenth part dekatos of apo everything pas. Translated hermēneuō, his name means first prōton, “ king basileus of righteousness dikaiosynē,” then epeita · de it also kai means, “ king basileus of Salem Salēm,” that hos is eimi, “ king basileus of peace eirēnē.” ³ He is without father apatōr, without mother amētōr, without genealogy agenealogētos, having echō neither mēte beginning archē of days hēmera nor mēte end telos of life zōē; but de like aphomoioō the ho Son hyios of ho God theos he continues menō a priest hiereus for eis all ho time diēnekēs.

⁴ But de see theōreō how great pēlikos this houtos man was to whom hos · kai the ho patriarch patriarchēs Abraham Abraam gave didōmi a tithe dekatos of ek the ho finest plunder akrothinion. ⁵ And kai those ho of ek the ho sons hyios of Levi Leui who receive lambanō the ho priestly office hierateia have echō a mandate entolē according to kata the ho law nomos to collect a tithe apodekatoō from the ho people laos, that houtos is eimi, from · ho their autos fellow countrymen adelphos, although kaiper they too come exerchomai from ek the ho loins osphys of Abraham Abraam. ⁶ But de this ho man who does not mē trace genealogeō his descent from ek them autos received tithes from dekatoō Abraham Abraam and kai blessed eulogeō the ho one who had echō the ho promises epangelia. ⁷ It is without chōris · de any pas dispute antilogia that the ho person of lesser status elassōn is blessed eulogeō by hypo the ho one of greater status kreittōn. ⁸ · kai In the one case hōde, mortal apothnēskō men anthrōpos receive lambanō tithes dekatos, but de in the other case ekei, by one of whom it is testified martyreō that hoti he lives zaō. ⁹ And kai it could be said hōs that Levi Leui himself, who ho receives lambanō tithes dekatos, paid tithes dekatoō through dia Abraham Abraam, · kai ¹⁰ for gar he was eimi still eti in en the ho loins osphys of his ho ancestor patēr when hote Melchizedek Melchisedek met synantaō Abraham autos.

²⁷ · kai Just epi then houtos his autos disciples mathētēs came erchomai back. · ho · kai They were astonished thaumazō that hoti he was talking laleō with meta a woman gynē; however mentoi, no oudeis one said legō to her, “ What tis do you want zēteō?” or ē to him, “ Why tis are you talking laleō with meta her autos?” ²⁸ Then oun the ho woman gynē left aphiēmi · ho her autos water hydria jar and kai went aperchomai off to eis the ho town polis. · kai She told legō the ho people anthrōpos there, ²⁹ “ Come deute and see a man anthrōpos who hos told legō me egō everything pas I have ever hosos done poieō! Could mēti this houtos man be eimi the ho Messiah Christos?” ³⁰ So they went exerchomai out of ek the ho town polis and kai made their way erchomai to pros Jesus autos.

³¹ In en the ho meantime metaxy the ho disciples mathētēs kept urging erōtaō Jesus autos, saying legō, “ Rabbi rhabbi, take esthiō something to eat .” ³² But de he ho said legō to them autos, “ I egō have echō food brōsis to eat esthiō of which hos you hymeis know oida nothing ou.” ³³ Then oun the ho disciples mathētēs began to say legō to pros one allēlōn another , “ No mē one tis has brought pherō him autos something to eat esthiō, have they?” ³⁴ Jesus Iēsous said legō to them autos, · ho “ My emos food brōma is eimi to hina do poieō the ho will thelēma of ho him who sent pempō me egō and kai to accomplish teleioō the ho work ergon he autos gave me to do. ³⁵ Do you hymeis not ou say legō, ‘ There are eimi still eti four tetramēnos months and kai then comes erchomai the ho harvest therismos’? Look idou, I tell legō you hymeis, lift epairō up · ho your hymeis eyes ophthalmos and kai look theaomai at the ho fields chōra; they are eimi white leukos, ready for pros harvest therismos. ³⁶ The ho reaper therizō is lambanō already receiving lambanō wages misthos and kai gathering synagō a crop karpos for eis eternal aiōnios life zōē, so hina that the ho sower speirō and kai the ho reaper therizō may rejoice chairō together homou. ³⁷ For gar in en this houtos the ho saying logos is eimi true alēthinos, ‘ One allos · ho sows speirō and kai another allos · ho reaps therizō.’ ³⁸ I egō sent apostellō you hymeis to reap therizō a crop for which hos you hymeis did not ou labor kopiaō. Others allos have done kopiaō the hard work , and kai you hymeis have reaped the benefits eiserchomai of eis · ho their autos labor kopos.”

³⁹ Many polys of the ho Samaritans Samaritēs from ek · de · ho that ekeinos town polis believed pisteuō in eis him autos because dia of what ho the ho woman gynē had said logos when she testified martyreō, “ He told legō me egō everything pas that hos I ever did poieō.” ⁴⁰ When hōs therefore oun the ho Samaritans Samaritēs came erchomai to pros him autos, they urged erōtaō him autos to stay menō with para them autos. · kai He stayed menō there ekei for two dyo days hēmera. ⁴¹ and kai many polys more polys believed pisteuō because dia of what ho they heard logos from him autos. ⁴² They said legō to the ho woman gynē, “ No longer ouketi is it because dia of what ho you sos said lalia that we believe pisteuō, for gar we have heard akouō him for ourselves autos, and kai we know oida that hoti this houtos man truly alēthōs is eimi the ho Savior sōtēr of the ho world kosmos.”
