Book of Common Prayer

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.

¹¹ If ei, then oun, perfection teleiōsis had been eimi attainable through dia the ho Levitical Leuitikos priesthood hierōsynē ( for gar under epi it autos the ho people laos had received the law nomotheteō), what tis further eti need chreia would there have been for another kind heteros of priest hiereus to arise anistēmi according to kata the ho order taxis of Melchizedek Melchisedek, · kai rather ou than one designated legō after kata the ho order taxis of Aaron Aarōn? ¹² For gar whenever the ho priesthood hierōsynē is altered metatithēmi, there is ginomai necessarily ek anankē an alteration metathesis in nomos the law nomos as well kai. ¹³ For gar the one of epi whom hos these things houtos are said legō belongs to metechō a different heteros tribe phylē, from apo which hos no one oudeis has ever served prosechō at the ho altar thusiastērion. ¹⁴ For gar it is perfectly clear prodēlos that hoti our hēmeis Lord kyrios is descended anatellō from ek Judah Ioudas, · ho and in regard to eis that hos tribe phylē Moses Mōysēs said laleō nothing oudeis about peri priests hiereus. ¹⁵ And kai it is eimi even eti more perissoteros obvious katadēlos that if ei, according to kata the ho likeness homoiotēs of Melchizedek Melchisedek, another heteros priest hiereus arises anistēmi, ¹⁶ he hos does so not ou on the basis of kata a law nomos expressed ginomai in a carnal sarkinos commandment entolē, but alla on the basis of kata the power dynamis of an indestructible akatalytos life zōē. ¹⁷ For gar it is attested martyreō of him, “ You sy are a priest hiereus for eis all ho time aiōn, according to kata the ho order taxis of Melchizedek Melchisedek.”

¹⁷ The ho seventy-two hebdomēkonta returned hypostrephō · de with meta joy chara, saying legō, “ Lord kyrios, even kai the ho demons daimonion are subject hypotassō to us hēmeis in en · ho your sy name onoma!” ¹⁸ He said legō · de to them autos, “ I saw theōreō · ho Satan Satanas as he fell piptō, like hōs a bolt astrapē of lightening from ek the ho sky ouranos. ¹⁹ I have given didōmi you hymeis · ho authority exousia to ho tread pateō on epanō serpents ophis and kai scorpions skorpios, and kai authority over epi all pas the ho power dynamis of the ho enemy echthros; · kai nothing oudeis may hurt adikeō you hymeis at all ou. ²⁰ However plēn, do chairō not mē rejoice chairō in en this houtos, that hoti the ho spirits pneuma are subject hypotassō to you hymeis, but de rejoice chairō that hoti · ho your hymeis names onoma have been recorded engraphō in en · ho heaven ouranos.”

²¹ At en this autos · ho time hōra Jesus was filled agalliaō with joy by en the ho Holy hagios Spirit pneuma, · ho and kai said legō, “ I thank exomologeomai you sy, Father patēr, Lord kyrios of ho heaven ouranos and kai · ho earth gē, that hoti you have hidden apokryptō these houtos things from apo the wise sophos and kai understanding synetos and kai revealed apokalyptō them autos to little nēpios children ; yes nai, · ho Father patēr, for hoti such houtōs was ginomai well-pleasing eudokia in your sy sight emprosthen. ²² All pas things have been handed over paradidōmi to me egō by hypo · ho my egō Father patēr, and kai no oudeis one knows ginōskō who tis the ho Son hyios is eimi except ei mē the ho Father patēr, or kai who tis the ho Father patēr is eimi except ei mē the ho Son hyios and kai anyone to whom hos the ho Son hyios decides boulomai to reveal apokalyptō him.” ²³ · kai Having turned strephō to pros the ho disciples mathētēs, he said legō to them privately kata idios, “ Fortunate makarios are the ho eyes ophthalmos that ho see blepō what hos you see blepō! ²⁴ For gar I tell legō you hymeis that hoti many polys prophets prophētēs and kai kings basileus desired thelō to see what hos you hymeis see blepō, but kai did not ou see it, and kai to hear akouō what hos you hear akouō, but kai did not ou hear akouō it.”
