And he grew to be perfect and became the author of life everlasting to all who obey him: So he was called by God a high priest after the order of Melchisedec. Now concerning this very Melchisedec we have much to say, but it is difficult to explain because you are dull of comprehension. By now you should be teachers because you have been a long time in training; but even now you need to be taught the primary writings of the word of God; but you are still in need of milk, and not strong meat. For every man whose food is milk is unfamiliar with the word of righteousness; for he is a babe. But strong meat belongs to those who are full of age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. {Hebrews Chapter 5 vs. 9-14}
Therein Jesus has previously entered into the temple for our sakes, and become the high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. For this Melchisedec was king of Salem, the priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of kings and blessed him, and to whom Abraham also set aside a tenth part from the choice things he had with him. His name is interpreted king of righteousness, and again, king of Salem, which means king of peace. Neither his father nor his mother is recorded in the geneologies; and neither the beginning of his days nor the end of his life; but, like the Son of God, his priesthood abides forever. Now consider how great this man was, to whom Abraham gave tithes and paid head tax. For those sons of Levi wo received the office of the priesthood were authorized by law to take tithes from the people, even from their own brethren who also had come out of the loins of Abraham. But this man who is not recorded in their geneologies took tithes from Abraham and blessed him who received the promises. Beyond dispute, he who was less was blessed by him who was greater than himself. And here mortal men receive tithes; but there he, of whom the scripture testifies that he lives, receives them. Speaking as a man, through Abraham, even Levi, who received tithes, also gave tithes. For he was yet in the loins of his forefather Abraham when Melchisedec met him. {Hebrews Ch. 6, vs. 20 & Ch. 7, vs. 1-10}
