Hebrews 7:15-17

Jesus Compared to Melchizedek

15 This becomes even more evident when another priest arises in the likeness of Melchizedek, 16 who has become a priest, not on the basis of a legal requirement concerning bodily descent, but by the power of an indestructible life.

17 For it is witnessed of him,
c "You are a priest forever,
after the order of Melchizedek."
