58:007:011 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for
           under it the people received the law,) what further need was
           there that another priest should rise after the order of
           Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

58:007:012 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a
           change also of the law.

58:007:013 For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another
           tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.

58:007:014 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which
           tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.

58:007:015 And it is yet far more evident:  for that after the similitude
           of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,

58:007:016 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but
           after the power of an endless life.

58:007:017 For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order
           of Melchisedec.

58:007:018 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going
           before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.

58:007:019 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a
           better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.

58:007:020 And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest: 

58:007:021 (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an
           oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not
           repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of
           Melchisedec:)

58:007:022 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.

58:007:023 And they truly were many priests, because they were not
           suffered to continue by reason of death: 

58:007:024 But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable
           priesthood.

58:007:025 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that
           come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make
           intercession for them.

58:007:026 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless,
           undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the
           heavens;

58:007:027 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up
           sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: 
           for this he did once, when he offered up himself.

58:007:028 For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but
           the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son,
           who is consecrated for evermore.

58:008:001 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum:  We
           have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the
           throne of the Majesty in the heavens;
