  • Melchisedek: Hebrews 7:3

    Melchizedek, king of Salem and priest of God Most High, appears in Genesis 14:18 with bread and wine. Hebrews 7:3 says of him that he has no father, no mother, no genealogy, no beginning of days and no end of life. The argument observes that these are qualities which belong to God alone, and that on this description the priest of Salem outranks Jesus, who had a mother and a lineage. (The New Testament text is not yet on this site.)

    And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. (He was priest of God Most High.)
