Hebreus 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.

Hebreus 7:15 In-Context

13 Ora, aquele de quem se dizem essas coisas pertencia a outra tribo, da qual ninguém jamais havia servido diante do altar,

14 pois é bem conhecido que o nosso Senhor descende de Judá, tribo da qual Moisés nada fala quanto a sacerdócio.

15 O que acabamos de dizer fica ainda mais claro quando aparece outro sacerdote semelhante a Melquisedeque,

16 alguém que se tornou sacerdote, não por regras relativas à linhagem, mas segundo o poder de uma vida indestrutível.

17 Porquanto sobre ele é afirmado:“Tu és sacerdote para sempre,segundo a ordem de Melquisedeque”.
