    10 Because he was still in his father's body when Melchizedek came to him.

    11 Now if it was possible for things to be made complete through the priests of the house of Levi (for the law was given to the people in connection with them), what need was there for another priest who was of the order of Melchizedek and not of the order of Aaron?

    13 For he of whom these things are said comes of another tribe, of which no man has ever made offerings at the altar.

    20 And as this is not without the taking of an oath

    21 (For those were made priests without an oath, but this one was made a priest with an oath by him who says of him, The Lord gave his oath, which he will not take back, that you are a priest for ever);

    22 By so much is it a better agreement which we have through Jesus.

    23 And it is true that there have been a great number of those priests, because death does not let them go on for ever;

    24 But this priest, because his life goes on for ever, is unchanging.

    25 So that he is fully able to be the saviour of all who come to God through him, because he is ever living to make prayer to God for them.

    26 It was right for us to have such a high priest, one who is holy and without evil, doing no wrong, having no part with sinners, and made higher than the heavens:

    27 Who has no need to make offerings for sins every day, like those high priests, first for himself, and then for the people; because he did this once and for ever when he made an offering of himself.

    28 The law makes high priests of men who are feeble; but the word of the oath, which was made after the law, gives that position to a Son, in whom all good is for ever complete.

    1 Now of the things we are saying this is the chief point: We have such a high priest, who has taken his place at the right hand of God's high seat of glory in heaven,

    2 As a servant of the holy things and of the true Tent, which was put up by God, not by man.

    3 Now every high priest is given authority to take to God the things which are given and to make offerings; so that it is necessary for this man, like them, to have something for an offering.

    4 If he had been on earth he would not have been a priest at all, because there are other priests who make the offerings ordered by the law;

    5 Being servants of that which is a copy and an image of the things in heaven, as Moses, when he was about to make the Tent, had special orders from God: for, See, he said, that you make everything like the design which you saw in the mountain.

    6 But now his position as priest is higher. because through him God has made a better agreement with man, based on the giving of better things.

  • 1 Every high priest who is taken from among men is given his position to take care of the interests of men in those things which have to do with God, so that he may make offerings for sins.
