    11 Now if there was perfection through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people have received the law), what further need was there for another priest to 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 made also in the law.

    13 For he of whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no one has officiated at the altar.

    14 For it is evident that our Lord has sprung out of Judah, about which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.

    15 This is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest,

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

    17 for it is testified, "You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek."

    18 For there is an annulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and uselessness

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

    20 Inasmuch as he was not made priest 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 says of him, "The Lord swore and will not change his mind, 'You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.'"

    22 By so much, Jesus has become the collateral of a better covenant.

    23 Many, indeed, have been made priests, because they are hindered from continuing by death.

    24 But he, because he lives forever, has his priesthood unchangeable.

    25 Therefore he is also able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, seeing that he lives forever to make intercession for them.

    26 For such a high priest was fitting for us: holy, guiltless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

    27 who doesn't need, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices daily, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. For he did this once for all, when he offered up himself.

    1 Now in the things which we are saying, the main point is this. We have such a high priest, who sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,

    2 a servant of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man.

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