17for it is witnessed of him, Thou art a priest for ever After the order of Melchizedek.


In Context

14 For it is evident that our Lord hath sprung out of Judah; as to which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priests.

15 And what we say is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there ariseth another priest,

16 who hath been made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life:

17 for it is witnessed of him, Thou art a priest for ever After the order of Melchizedek.

18 For there is a disannulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness

19 (for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in thereupon of a better hope, through which we draw nigh unto God.
