Jesus is from the line of Judah. Thus, He is not from the priestly tribe (Levi). From both biology, and God making it clear in the Bible--these lines are not meant to mix! Thus, the only way for Jesus to be a priest was from a different order--the order of Melchizedek, who was both king and high priest in Genesis 14.
