Hebrews
Hebrews quotes Scripture: “You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.” It uses this to show Christ’s priesthood comes by God’s appointment and is described as lasting (“forever”) (Hebrews 5:5–6). The phrase signals a priesthood different from the Levitical line.
5So also Christ didn`t glorify himself to be made a high priest, but he who said to him, "You are my Son. Today I have become your father."
6As he says also in another place, "You are a priest forever, After the order of Melchizedek."
