Hebrews 5:5-6 "So also Christ
glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him,
Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee. 6. As he saith
also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the
order of Melchisedec."
KING
Hebrews 7:1-3
"For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high
God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed
him; 2. To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all;
first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after
that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; 3.
Without father, without mother, without descent,
having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but
made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually."
Hebrews 5:1-3
"For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for
men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and
sacrifices for sins: 2. Who can have compassion on the
ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself
also is compassed with infirmity. 3. And by reason hereof
he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer
for sins."
Leviticus 21:10
"And he that is the high priest among his
brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil was poured, and that is
consecrated to put on the garments, shall not uncover his
head, nor rend his clothes;"

Eleazar his son;"

that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee. 6.

ever after the order of Melchisedec."
PROLONGED HIS DAYS
Isaiah 53:10 "Yet it pleased
the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make
his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall
prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in
his hand."

Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread

and earth."
BLESSED WITH ABRAHAM
Galatians 3:8-9 "And the
scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen (Gentiles) through
faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee
shall all nations be blessed. 9. So then they which be of faith
are blessed with faithful Abraham."

"Who shall lay any
thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.

hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us."

children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written
in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee."
Hebrews 5:7-8
"Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers
and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him
that was able to save him from death [thanatos], and was heard
in that he feared; 8. Though he were a Son, yet learned he
obedience by the things which he suffered;"

unto death [thanatos]: tarry ye here, and watch."

nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. 43. And there

being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great
drops of blood falling down to the ground."

12. For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have
need that one teach you again which be the first principles
of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and
not of strong meat."

Corinthians 3:1-3 "And I,
brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as
unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. 2. I have fed
you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not

ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying,
and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk
as men?"
