Hebreos 7:15 Meaning and Commentary

Hebrews 7:15

And it is yet far more evident
From a fact which cannot be denied;

for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another
priest;
or another has risen, even Jesus the son of David, of the tribe of Judah; another from Aaron, one that is not of his family or tribe, but one like to Melchizedek: hence we learn that Melchizedek and Christ are not the same person; and that the order and similitude of Melchizedek are the same; and that Christ's being of his order only imports that there is a resemblance and likeness between him and Melchizedek, in many things, which are observed in the beginning of this chapter: and this "arising" does not intend Christ's setting up himself, only his appearance in this form; and being expressed in the present tense, denotes the continual being, and virtue of his priesthood.

Hebreos 7:15 In-Context

13 En efecto, Jesús, de quien se dicen estas cosas, era de otra tribu, de la cual nadie se ha dedicado al servicio del altar.

14 Es evidente que nuestro Señor procedía de la tribu de Judá, respecto a la cual nada dijo Moisés con relación al sacerdocio.

15 Y lo que hemos dicho resulta aún más evidente si, a semejanza de Melquisedec, surge otro sacerdote

16 que ha llegado a serlo, no conforme a un requisito legal respecto a linaje humano, sino conforme al poder de una vida indestructible.

17 Pues de él se da testimonio:«Tú eres sacerdote para siempre,según el orden de Melquisedec».
