Hebrews 7:14
Compare all
12 For the priesthood being changed, of necessity there is also a change of the law.
13 For He of whom these things are spoken belongs to another tribe, from which no man has1 officiated at the altar.  
14 For it is evident that aour Lord arose from bJudah, of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning1 priesthood.  
15 And it is yet far more evident if, in the likeness of Melchizedek, there arises another priest
16 who has come, not according to the law of a fleshly commandment, but according to the power of an endless life.
17 For1 He testifies:
a“You are a priest forever
According to the order of Melchizedek.”

Hebrews 7:14

For it is evident - As the apostle speaks here with so much confidence, it follows that our Lord' s descent from the tribe of Judah was incontrovertible. The genealogical tables, both in Matthew and Luke, establish this point; and whatever difficulties we may find in them now, there were none apprehended in those days, else the enemies of the Gospel would have urged these as a chief and unanswerable argument against Christ and his Gospel.
