He ended one, started another.

If then perfection was by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise according to the order of Melchisedech, and not be called according to the order of Aaron? (Hebrews 7:11)

This is my body, which is given for you. Do this for a commemoration of me. (Luke 22:19)

Neglect not the grace that is in thee, which was given thee by prophesy, with imposition of the hands of the priesthood. (1 Tim. 4:14))

I can see no relationship in your claim to the Priesthood begun by Jesus in your first two references (Hebrews 7:11 and Luke 22:19) and only a tortured redefinition of the Greek in the Latin Vulgate and Douay Rheims (1 Timothy 4:14).

For many other translations look here:

1 TIMOTHY 4:14

Hebrew 7:11 says that another priest will rise, who is not of levitical priesthood. Luke 22:19 tells the Apostles to do what Jesus did: offer His body under the consecrated bread and wine. So Christ is a new prioest, and the Apostles offer His sacrifice in the Eucharist. That is new priesthood.

"Presbyteros" is Christian priest. The issue is not how you translate it, -- I am fine with leaving it untranslated, presbyteros. What do presbyteroi do? See Luke 22:19. See also James 5:14.
