Hebrews 7:15-17

Like Melchizedek, Jesus is greater than the Levite priests

15 What we have said becomes even clearer now. Another kind of priest has come, who is a priest like Melchizedek. 16 Jesus did not become a priest because of a law about which family he came from. He became God's priest because of his powerful life that nothing could ever destroy. 17 The Bible speaks about him as a priest like this:

‘You will be a priest for ever,

in the same way that Melchizedek was God's priest.’
