'But remember Melchizedek. The Genesis record is framed to show that such a great priest did not have any genealogy; and Messiah is to be both a king and a priest, whose priesthood is after the pattern of Melchizedek (Heb.5:6 cp. Ps.110:4). Abraham was inferior to Melchizedek, so you should switch your emphasis from Abraham to Jesus, and stop trying to make the question of genealogies so important (see 1 Tim.1:4). If you meditate on how much Melchizedek is a type of Jesus (i.e. the details of his life pointed forward to him), then you would have a greater understanding of the work of Christ'.
‘Lakini mkumbukeni Melkizedeki. Taarifa ya kitabu cha Mwanzo imetengenezwa ili kuonyesha kwamba kuhani huyu mkuu hakuwa na ukoo wa babu yeyote; naye Masihi kwa pande zote mbili anakuwa mfalme na kuhani, ambaye ukuhani wake ni wa kufuata mfano mzuri wa Melkizedeki (Ebra. 5: 6; Zab. 110: 4). Ibrahimu alikuwa na cheo kidogo kuliko Melkizedeki,hivyo mpindue mkazo wenu utoke kwa Ibrahimu hadi kwa Yesu, na muache kuleta maswali ya nasaba - ukoo kuwa ni ya lazima (tazama 1 Tim. 1: 4). Ikiwa mnatafakari ni kiasi gani Melkizedeki yeye ni mfano wa Yesu (yaani, habari zake moja moja zililenga mbele kwake), ndipo mngekuwa na ufahamu mkubwa wa kazi za Kristo’.
