    11If 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?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    20And inasmuch as he was not made priest without an oath:

    21For 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:

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

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

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

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

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

    27Who 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.

    2A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord set up, and not man.

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

    1For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come and not the actual form of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offer year by year continually make those who come perfect.
