根据《圣经/创世纪》第14章记载：

18 Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High,

随后，撒冷王麦基洗德带来饼和酒。他是至高神的祭司，

19 and he blessed Abram, saying, "Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth.

为亚伯兰祝福，说：“愿天地的主，至高的神赐福与亚伯兰。

20 And blessed be God Most High, who delivered your enemies into your hand." Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.

至高的神把敌人交在你手里，该当称颂。”亚伯兰就拿出全部的十分之一，给麦基洗德。

根据《圣经/希伯来》第5章记载：

5 So Christ also did not take upon himself the glory of becoming a high priest. But God said to him, "You are my Son; today I have become your Father. " 

因此，基督并未自取荣耀，作大祭司，而是神对他说：“你是我的儿子。我今日做你的父。” 

6 And he says in another place, "You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek." 

神在经上又有一处说：“你接替麦基洗德，永远做祭司。” 

根据《圣经/诗篇》第110章记载：

4 The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind: "You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek."

主起了誓，矢志不改地说：“你接替麦基洗德，永远做祭司。”

麦基洗德是谁？

根据《圣经/希伯来》第7章记载：

3 Without father or mother, without genealogy, without beginning of days or end of life, like the Son of God he remains a priest forever. 

麦基洗德无父无母，无家谱，无始无终，像神的儿子，永远作祭司。 

根据《死海古卷》记载：

11Q13 is a fragment (that can be dated to the end of the 2nd or start of the 1st century BC) of a text about Melchizedek found in Cave 11 at Qumran in the Israeli Dead Sea area and which comprises part of the Dead Sea Scrolls. 

编号为11Q13的文件残片(可以追溯到公元前1世纪)是在以色列死海地区昆兰11号洞穴中发现的麦基洗德文本，是《死海古卷》的一部分。

In this eschatological text, Melchizedek is seen as a divine being and Hebrew titles as Elohim are applied to him. According to this text Melchizedek will proclaim the "Day of Atonement" and he will atone for the people who are predestined to him. He also will judge the peoples.

在这个末世学的文本中，麦基洗德被视为神。希伯来语称他为上帝。根据这个本文，麦基洗德将宣布“赎罪日”。他会为属于他的人民赎罪。他还将审判世人。
