³ ·No one knows who Melchizedek’s father or mother was [^L…without father, without mother], ·where he came from [^Lwithout genealogy], ·when he was born, or when he died [^Lhaving neither beginning of days, nor end of life; ^Csomething unstated was assumed not to exist]. Melchizedek is like the Son of God; he continues being a priest forever [^CMelchizedek’s unmentioned genealogy in Genesis is, by analogy, like Jesus’ eternal Sonship and priesthood].
