Mark 1:1-8
1 - This is the beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. 2 It began just as God had said in the book written by Isaiah the prophet, "I am sending my messenger to get the way ready. He will go before you (before the Son) 3 a voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord! Make straight paths for him.’” 4 And so John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness, baptizing and preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins [hamartia - missing the mark]. 5 All of Judea, including all the people of Jerusalem, went out to see and hear John confessing [exomologeó - “acknowledging”] their hamartia - “missing the mark” and John baptized them in the Jordan River.
6 John wore clothing made of camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey. 7 And this was his message, “After me comes the one more powerful than I! The straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to even stoop down and unlace! 8 I baptize you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit!” (With God’s very Spirit/Presence!)

From New Testament Letters
(In Order Written)
~ Hebrews 7:4-10 ~
4 Consider then how great this Melchizedek [the example of Christ] was. Even Abraham - the patriarch - knew how great, and gave him a tenth of what he had taken from his battle (with “the kings” to rescue his nephew Lot from capture in a war of kings/nations who were revolting against Mesopotamian rule).
5 Moses’ law requires the descendants of Levi, who become priests, to collect a tenth/tithe from their people, who also are descended from Abraham. 6 But Melchizedek, who was not a descendant of the later Levi, collected a tenth from, and blessed Abraham, the one God gave his promise to! 7 Everyone agrees a person who gives a blessing is greater than the one who receives the blessing.
8 And the priests of the tribe of Levi, who collect tithes, are men who die. So Melchizedek is greater than they are, because it is as though he lives on. [Having no record of birth or death, so seeming, in a sense, to be immortal. But which Abraham, original patriarch, met this ancient priest of God/Yhvh on the road (of life) after rescuing Lot.] And so again, one might even say that Levi (descendant of Abraham and original head of one of the “twelve tribes”) who collects the tenth (as priest and civil servant) - paid the tenth to Melchizedek - through Abraham, 10 because Levi was born later into the offspring and family of Abraham - who paid a tithe to Melchizedek.
(Hebrews was likely written by “Apollo” known as quite a scholarly Israelite and an early believer, Acts 18:24-28.)
