- New Testament only; original spelling.
1 This Melchisedech kynge of Salem (which beinge prest of the most hye god met Abraham as he returned agayne from the slaughter of the kynges and blessed him:
1 PORQUE este Melchîsedec, rey de Salem, sacerdote del Dios Altísimo, el cual salió á recibir á Abraham que volvía de la derrota de los reyes, y le bendijo,
2 to whom also Abraham gave tythes of all thynges) fyrst is by interpretacion kynge of rightewesnes: after that he is kynge of Sale that is to saye kynge of peace
2 Al cual asimismo dió Abraham los diezmos de todo, primeramente él se interpreta Rey de justicia; y luego también Rey de Salem, que es, Rey de paz;
3 with out father with out mother with out kynne and hath nether begynnynge of his tyme nether yet ende of his lyfe: but is lykened vnto the sonne of god and cotinueth a preste for ever.
3 Sin padre, sin madre, sin linaje; que ni tiene principio de días, ni fin de vida, mas hecho semejante al Hijo de Dios, permanece sacerdote para siempre.
4 Consyder what a man this was vnto who the patriarke Abraham gave tythes of the spoyles.
4 Mirad pues cuán grande fué éste, al cual aun Abraham el patriarca dió diezmos de los despojos.
5 And verely those children of levy which receave the office of the prestes have a commaundement to take a cordyng to the lawe tythes of the people that is to saye of their brethren yee though they spronge out of the loynes of Abraham.
5 Y ciertamente los que de los hijos de Leví toman el sacerdocio, tienen mandamiento de tomar del pueblo los diezmos según la ley, es á saber, de sus hermanos aunque también hayan salido de los lomos de Abraham.
6 But he whose kynred is not counted amonge them receaved tythes of Abraham and blessed him that had the promyses.
6 Mas aquél cuya genealogía no es contada de ellos, tomó de Abraham los diezmos, y bendijo al que tenía las promesas.
7 And no man denyeth but that which is lesse receaveth blessinge of that which is greater.
7 Y sin contradicción alguna, lo que es menos es bendecido de lo que es más.
8 And here men that dye receave tythes. But there he receaveth tythes of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.
8 Y aquí ciertamente los hombres mortales toman los diezmos: mas allí, aquel del cual está dado testimonio que vive.
9 And to saye the trueth Levy him silfe also which receaveth tythes payed tythes in Abraham.
9 Y, por decirlo así, en Abraham fué diezmado también Leví, que recibe los diezmos;
10 For he was yet in the loynes of his father Abraham when Melchisech met him.
10 Porque aun estaba en los lomos de su padre cuando Melchîsedec le salió al encuentro.
11 Yf now therfore perfeccion came by the presthod of the levites (for vnder that presthod the people recaved the lawe) what neded it furthermore that an other prest shuld ryse after the order of Melchisedech and not after the order of Aaron?
11 Si pues la perfección era por el sacerdocio Levítico (porque debajo de él recibió el pueblo la ley) ¿qué necesidad [había] aún de que se levantase otro sacerdote según el orden de Melchîsedec, y que no fuese llamado según el orden de Aarón?
12 Now no dout yf the presthod be translated then of necessitie must the lawe be translated also.
12 Pues mudado el sacerdocio, necesario es que se haga también mudanza de la ley.
13 For he of whom these thynges are spoken pertayneth vnto another trybe of which never man served at the aultre.
13 Porque aquel del cual esto se dice, de otra tribu es, de la cual nadie asistió al altar.
14 For it is evident that oure lorde spronge of the trybe of Iuda of which trybe spake Moses nothynge concernynge presthod.
14 Porque notorio es que el Señor nuestro nació de la tribu de Judá, sobre cuya tribu nada habló Moisés tocante al sacerdocio.
15 And it is yet a more evydent thinge yf after the similitude of Melchisedech ther aryse a nother prest
15 Y aun más manifiesto es, si á semejanza de Melchîsedec se levanta otro sacerdote,
16 which is not made after the lawe of the carnall commaundment: but after the power of the endlesse lyfe
16 El cual no es hecho conforme á la ley del mandamiento carnal, sino según la virtud de vida indisoluble;
17 (For he testifieth: Thou arte a prest forever after the order of Melchysedech)
17 Pues se da testimonio [de él]: Tú eres sacerdote para siempre, según el orden de Melchîsedec.
18 Then the commaundment that went a fore is disanulled because of hir weaknes and vnproffitablenes.
18 El mandamiento precedente, cierto se abroga por su flaqueza é inutilidad;
19 For the lawe made nothynge parfecte: but was an introduccion of a better hope by which hope we drawe nye vnto god.
19 Porque nada perfeccionó la ley; mas [hízolo] la introducción de mejor esperanza, por la cual nos acercamos á Dios.
20 And for this cause it is a better hope that it was not promysed with out an othe.
20 Y por cuanto no [fué] sin juramento,
21 Those prestes were made with out an oth: but this prest with an oth by him that saide vnto him The lorde sware and will not repent: Thou arte a prest for ever after the order of Melchisedech.
21 (Porque los otros cierto sin juramento fueron hechos sacerdotes; mas éste, con juramento por el que le dijo: Juró el Señor, y no se arrepentirá: Tú eres sacerdote eternamente según el orden de Melchîsedec:)
22 And for that cause was Iesus a stablyssher of a better testament.
22 Tanto de mejor testamento es hecho fiador Jesús.
23 And amonge them many were made prestes because they were not suffred to endure by the reason of deeth.
23 Y los otros cierto fueron muchos sacerdotes, en cuanto por la muerte no podían permanecer.
24 But this man because he endureth ever hath an everlastinge presthod.
24 Mas éste, por cuanto permanece para siempre, tiene un sacerdocio inmutable:
25 Wherfore he is able also ever to save them that come vnto god by him seynge he ever lyveth to make intercession for vs.
25 Por lo cual puede también salvar eternamente á los que por él se allegan á Dios, viviendo siempre para interceder por ellos.
26 Soche an hye prest it became vs to have which is wholy harmlesse vndefyled separat from synners and made hyar then heven.
26 Porque tal pontífice nos convenía: santo, inocente, limpio, apartado de los pecadores, y hecho más sublime que los cielos;
27 Which nedeth not dayly (as yonder hie prestes) to offer vp sacrifice fyrst for his awne synnes and then for the peoples synnes. For that did he at once for all when he offered vp him silfe.
27 Que no tiene necesidad cada día, como los [otros] sacerdotes, de ofrecer primero sacrificios por sus pecados, y luego por los del pueblo: porque esto [lo] hizo una sola vez, ofreciéndose á sí mismo.
28 For the lawe maketh men prestes which have infirmitie: but the worde of the othe that came fence the lawe maketh the sonne prest which is parfecte for ever more.
28 Porque la ley constituye sacerdotes á hombres flacos; mas la palabra del juramento, después de la ley, [constituye] al Hijo, hecho perfecto para siempre.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Paul wishing to show the difference between the New and Old [Covenant], scatters it everywhere; and shoots from afar, and noises it abroad, and prepares beforehand. For at once even from the introduction, he laid down this saying, that "to them indeed He spake by prophets, but to us by the Son" ( c. i.

… elegantly expresses the very kind of sacrifice of which the Priest Himself says, "The bread which I will give is my flesh for the life of the world." The same is the sacrifice not after the order of Aaron, but after the order of Melchisedec: let him that readeth understand.

… but before all ages by the Father; and He so far excels the others as with an oath He is made Priest: For they are priests without an oath, but He with an oath by Him that said, The Lord sware, and will not repent.

Ninthly, they allege, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for us. O, how beautiful and mystical and kind.

To the priests it is said, "First offer sacrifices for your own sins, and so for the people." The sacrifices convicted the priests that if any one should call himself righteous and without sin, it might be answered him, "I look not at what thou sayest, but at what thou offerest; thine own victim convicteth thee.
