ἐπεὶ οὖν οὔτε ἀπὸ χρόνου τῆς ἱερωσύνης ἀπήρξατο οὔτε ἐκ φυλῆς τῶν ἱερωμένων ὁ Χριστὸς, οὐδὲ διὰ σκευαστοῦ καὶ σωματικοῦ ἐλαίου κέχριστο, οὐδὲ τέλος ἕξειν ἔμελλε τῆς ἱερωσύνης, οὐδὲ μόνοις Ἰουδαίοις, ἀλλὰ καὶ πᾶσιν ἔθνεσι καταστήσεσθαι, τούτων ἕνεκα πάντων εἰκότως αὐτὸν τῆς μὲν κατὰ τὸν τύπον Ἀαρὼν λειτουργίας ἀπαλλάττει, κατὰ τὴν τάξιν δὲ Μελχισεδὲκ ἱερέα φησὶν ἔσεσθαι. καὶ τό γε ἀποτέλεσμα τοῦ χρησμοῦ θαυμάσιον συνορῶντι ὅπως ὁ σωτὴρ ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦς ὁ Χριστὸς τοῦ θεοῦ τῷ τοῦ Μελχισεδὲκ τρόπῳ τὰ τῆς ἐν ἀνθρώποις ἱερουργίας εἰσέτι καὶ νῦν διὰ τῶν αὑτοῦ θεραπευτῶν ἐπιτελεῖ.
