11 If now therfore perfeccion came by the presthod of the Leuytes (for vnder that presthod the people receaued the lawe) what neded it furthermore, that another prest shuld ryse to be called after the order of Melchisedech, and not after the order of Aaron?
12 For yf the presthod be translated, then of necessitie must the lawe be translated also.
13 For he of whom these thynges are spoken pertayne vnto another trybe, of whom neuer man serued at the aultare.
14 For it is euident that oure Lorde spronge of the trybe of Iuda, of whych trybe spake Moses nothinge concerninge presthod.
15 And it is yet a more euident thynge, yf after the similitude of Melchisedech there aryse another preste,
16 whych is not made after the lawe of the carnall commaundement: but after the power of the endlesse lyfe.
17 (For after thys maner doth he testifie thou art a prest for euer, after the order of Melchisedech)
18 Then the commaundement that went afore, is disanulled, because of weaknes and vnproffytablenes.
19 For the lawe brought nothynge to perfeccion: but was an introduccyon to a better hope, by the whych we drawe nye vnto God.
20 And therfore is it a better hope, because the thing was not done without an othe.
21 For those prestes were made without an othe, but thys preste with an othe, by hym that sayde vnto hym. The Lorde sware, and wyll not repent: Thou art a prest for euer after the order of Melchisedech.
22 And for that cause was Iesus a stablyssher of a better testament.
23 And amonge them many were made prestes, because they were not suffred to endure by the reason of deeth
24 But this man (because he endureth euer) hath an euerlasteng presthode.
25 Wherfore, he is able also euer to saue them to the vttemost, that come vnto God by him, seynge he euer lyueth to make intercession for vs.
26 For soch an hye Prest it became vs to haue, which is holy, harmlesse, vndefiled, separate from synners, made hyer then heauen.
27 Which nedeth not dayly (as yonder hye prestes) to offer vp sacrifice. Fyrst for his awne synnes and then for the peoples synnes. For that dyd he once, when he offered vp him self.
