4Notice how great Melchizedek was! Our famous ancestor Abraham gave him a tenth of what he had taken from his enemies.

12And when the rules for selecting a priest are changed, the Law must also be changed.
13The person we are talking about is our Lord, who came from a tribe that had never had anyone to serve as a priest at the altar.
14Everyone knows he came from the tribe of Judah, and Moses never said priests would come from that tribe.
15All of this becomes clearer, when someone who is like Melchizedek is appointed to be a priest.
16That person wasn't appointed because of his ancestors, but because his life can never end.
17 the people he leads to God, because he always lives to speak to God for them.
26Jesus is the high priest we need. He is holy and innocent and faultless, and not at all like us sinners. Jesus is honored above all beings in heaven,
27Lv 9.7. and he is better than any other high priest. Jesus doesn't need to offer sacrifices each day for his own sins and then for the sins of the people. He offered a sacrifice once for all, when he gave himself.
28The Law appoints priests who have weaknesses. But God's promise, which came later than the Law, appoints his Son. And he is the perfect high priest forever.
