As he saith also in another passage, "Thou art priest forever after the order of Melchisedec;"

publicly proclaimed of God high-priest after the order of Melchisedec.

into which the forerunner for us is entered, even Jesus, made after the order of Melchisedec an high-priest for ever.

FOR this Melchisedec, king of Salem, a priest of God most high, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;

Now observe how great is this [Melchisedec], to whom even Abraham the patriarch gave the tenth of the spoils.

For he was as yet in the loins of his father when Melchisedec met him.

If therefore there was perfection by the Levitical priesthood (for under that the people had the law given to them), what farther need was there that another priest should arise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

and it is yet more abundantly evident, that there should arise another priest after the likeness of Melchisedec,

For the testimony is, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

(for they indeed were made priests without an oath; but he with an oath, by him who said unto him, "The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:")
