    21 For those priests were made without an oath; but this one with an oath by him that said to him, The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek:

    22 By so much was Jesus made the guarantor of a better covenant.

    23 And they truly were many priests, because they were not allowed to continue by reason of death:

    24 But he, because he continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood.

    25 Therefore he is able also to save completely those who come to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.

    26 For such a high priest was fitting for us, who is holy, innocent, undefiled, separate from sinners, and exalted above the heavens;

    27 Who does not need daily, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for he did this once, when he offered up himself.

    28 For the law appoints as high priests men who have weaknesses; but the word of the oath, which came after the law, appoints the Son, who is perfected forever.

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

    11 If therefore perfection were through the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

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

    13 For he of whom these things are spoken belongs to another tribe, of which no man attended the altar.

    14 For it is evident that our Lord arose from Judah, of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.

    15 And it is yet far more evident: for in the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest,

    16 Who is made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but according to the power of an endless life.

    17 For he testifies, You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

    18 For there is indeed a setting aside of the former commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness.

    19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by which we draw near to God.
