"And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,"
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And it is yet far more evident,.... From a fact which cannot be denied; for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest; or another has risen, even
Jesus the son of David, of the tribe of Judah; another from Aaron, one that is not of his family or tribe, but one like to Melchizedek: hence we learn that Melchizedek and Christ are not the same person; and that the order and similitude of Melchizedek are the same; and that Christ's being of his order only imports that there is a resemblance and likeness between him and Melchizedek, in many things, which are observed in the beginning of this chapter: and this "arising" does not intend Christ's setting up himself, only his appearance in this form; and being expressed in the present tense, denotes the continual being, and virtue of his priesthood.
