    24but he, because he abideth for ever, hath his priesthood unchangeable.

    25Wherefore also he is able to save to the uttermost them that draw near unto God through him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

    26For such a high priest became us, holy, guileless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

    27who needeth not daily, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for his own sins, and then for the [sins] of the people: for this he did once for all, when he offered up himself.

    28For the law appointeth men high priests, having infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was after the law, [appointeth] a Son, perfected for evermore.

    11Now if there was perfection through the Levitical priesthood (for under it hath the people received the law), what further need [was there] that another priest should arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be reckoned after the order of Aaron?

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

    13For he of whom these things are said belongeth to another tribe, from which no man hath given attendance at the altar.

    14For it is evident that our Lord hath sprung out of Judah; as to which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priests.

    15And [what we say] is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there ariseth another priest,

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

    17for it is witnessed [of him], Thou art a priest for ever After the order of Melchizedek.

    18For there is a disannulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness

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

    20And inasmuch as [it is] not without the taking of an oath

    21(for they indeed have been made priests without an oath; but he with an oath by him that saith of him, The Lord sware and will not repent himself, Thou art a priest for ever);

    22by so much also hath Jesus become the surety of a better covenant.

    3For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is necessary that this [high priest] also have somewhat to offer.
