    21but he became a priest with an oath when God said to him: 'The Lord has sworn and will not change His mind: You are a priest forever.'

    22Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantor of a better covenant.

    23Now there have been many priests since death prevented them from continuing in office;

    24but because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood.

    25Therefore, he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.

    26Such a high priest truly meets our need: one who is holy, innocent, undefiled, separate from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.

    27He does not need to offer sacrifices every day, as high priests do—first for their own sins and then for the sins of the people. He did this once for all when he offered himself.

    28For the law appoints men who are weak as high priests, but the word of the oath, which came after the law, appoints the Son, who has been made perfect forever.

    10For he was still in the loins of his ancestor when Melchizedek met him.

    11If perfection could have been achieved through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), why was there still a need for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, rather than one according to the order of Aaron?

    12For when there is a change in the priesthood, there must also be a change in the law.

    13For the one about whom these things are spoken belongs to a different tribe, one from which no one has ever served at the altar.

    14For it is clear that our Lord descended from Judah, and in regard to that tribe, Moses said nothing about priests.

    15And this becomes even more evident if another priest arises in the likeness of Melchizedek,

    16one who has become a priest not on the basis of a law of physical requirement, but according to the power of an indestructible life.

    17For it is testified: 'You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.'

    18The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless,

    19(for the law made nothing perfect), but a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God.

    2He serves in the holy place and the true tabernacle, which was set up by the Lord and not by man.

    3Every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices, and so it was necessary for this one also to have something to offer.

    4If he were on earth, he would not be a priest, since there are already priests who offer gifts according to the law.
