    21(for they indeed have been made priests without an oath), but he with an oath by him that says of him, "The Lord swore and will not change his mind, 'You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.'"

    22By so much, Jesus has become the collateral of a better covenant.

    23Many, indeed, have been made priests, because they are hindered from continuing by death.

    24But he, because he lives forever, has his priesthood unchangeable.

    25Therefore he is also able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, seeing that he lives forever to make intercession for them.

    26For such a high priest was fitting for us: holy, guiltless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

    27who doesn't need, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices daily, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. For he did this once for all, when he offered up himself.

    28For the law appoints men as high priests who have weakness, but the word of the oath which came after the law appoints a Son forever who has been perfected.

    10for he was yet in the body of his father when Melchizedek met him.

    11Now if there was perfection through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people have received the law), what further need was there for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

    12For the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change made also in the law.

    13For he of whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has officiated at the altar.

    14For it is evident that our Lord has sprung out of Judah, about which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.

    15This is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest,

    16who has been made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but after the power of an endless life:

    17for it is testified, "You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek."

    18For there is an annulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and uselessness

    19(for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.

    1Now in the things which we are saying, the main point is this. We have such a high priest, who sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,

    2a servant of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man.

    3For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offer.
