Rather than becoming a priest through a human father who had himself been a priest, Jesus had “been specifically called by God a high priest according to the manner of Melchizedek. ” ​ — Hebrews 5: 10.
Jeesus ei saanud preestriks inimisa kaudu, kes oleks ise preester olnud, vaid hoopis „Jumal nimetas tema ülempreestriks Melkisedeki korra järgi ”. — Heebrealastele 5: 10.
