Our father Jacob gave us the well. He drank from it himself. So did his sons and his livestock. Are you more important than he is?”

The founders of our nation belong to them. The Messiah comes from their family line. He is God over all. May he always be praised! Amen.

Melchizedek was the king of Salem. He was the priest of God Most High. He met Abraham, who was returning from winning a battle over some kings. Melchizedek blessed him.Abraham gave him a tenth of everything. First, the name Melchizedek means“ king of what is right.” Also,“ king of Salem” means“ king of peace.”Melchizedek has no father or mother. He has no family line. His days have no beginning. His life has no end. He remains a priest forever. In this way, he is like the Son of God.Think how great Melchizedek was! Even our father Abraham gave him a tenth of what he had captured.Now the law lays down a rule for the sons of Levi who become priests. They must collect a tenth from the people. They must collect it from the other Israelites. They must do this, even though all of them belong to the family line of Abraham.Melchizedek did not trace his family line from Levi. But he collected a tenth from Abraham. Melchizedek blessed the one who had received the promises.Without a doubt, the more important person blesses the less important one.

The men of Nineveh will stand up on judgment day with the people now living. And the Ninevites will prove that these people are guilty. The men of Nineveh turned away from their sins when Jonah preached to them. And now something more important than Jonah is here.The Queen of the South will stand up on judgment day with the people now living. And she will prove that they are guilty. She came from very far away to listen to Solomon’s wisdom. And now something more important than Solomon is here.

The Jewish leaders replied,“ We have a law. That law says he must die. He claimed to be the Son of God.”

My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than anyone. No one can steal them out of my Father’s hand.I and the Father are one.”

“ What I’m about to tell you is true,” Jesus answered.“ Before Abraham was born, I am!”

I tell you that something more important than the temple is here.

Moses was faithful in everything he did in the house of God. In the same way, Jesus was faithful to the God who appointed him.The person who builds a house has greater honor than the house itself. In the same way, Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses.

The crowd spoke up.“ The Law tells us that the Messiah will remain forever,” they said.“ So how can you say,‘ The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this‘ Son of Man’?”

“ We are not throwing stones at you for any good work,” they replied.“ We are stoning you for saying a very evil thing. You are only a man. But you claim to be God.”

A child will be born to us. A son will be given to us. He will rule over us. And he will be called Wonderful Adviser and Mighty God. He will also be called Father Who Lives Forever and Prince Who Brings Peace.
