After the order of Melchizedek


  1.   4 The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

  2.   6 As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
          •  •  •

      10 Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.

  3.   20 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

  4.   11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
          •  •  •

      17 For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
          •  •  •

      21 (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)

  5.   57 And are priests of the Most High, after the order of Melchizedek, which was after the order of Enoch, which was after the order of the Only Begotten Son.

  6.   9 The Presidency of the High Priesthood, after the order of Melchizedek, have a right to officiate in all the offices in the church.

      10 High priests after the order of the Melchizedek Priesthood have a right to officiate in their own standing, under the direction of the presidency, in administering spiritual things, and also in the office of an elder, priest (of the Levitical order), teacher, deacon, and member.
          •  •  •

      29 Unless this is the case, their decisions are not entitled to the same blessings which the decisions of a quorum of three presidents were anciently, who were ordained after the order of Melchizedek, and were righteous and holy men.
          •  •  •

      71 Nevertheless, a high priest, that is, after the order of Melchizedek, may be set apart unto the ministering of temporal things, having a knowledge of them by the Spirit of truth;
          •  •  •

      73 This is the duty of a bishop who is not a literal descendant of Aaron, but has been ordained to the High Priesthood after the order of Melchizedek.
          •  •  •

      76 But a literal descendant of Aaron has a legal right to the presidency of this priesthood, to the keys of this ministry, to act in the office of bishop independently, without counselors, except in a case where a President of the High Priesthood, after the order of Melchizedek, is tried, to sit as a judge in Israel.

  7.   123 Verily I say unto you, I now give unto you the officers belonging to my Priesthood, that ye may hold the keys thereof, even the Priesthood which is after the order of Melchizedek, which is after the order of mine Only Begotten Son.
