(For those priestsweremadewithouta an oath;but this with an oathby him that saiduntohim, The Lordswareandwillnotrepent , Thou art a priestforeverafter the order of Melchisedec:)
22By so muchwasJesusmade a surety of a bettertestament.23Andtheytrulyweremanypriests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason ofdeath:24But this man, becausehecontinuethever , hath an unchangeablepriesthood.25Wherefore he is ablealso to save themto the uttermost that come unto Godbyhim, seeing he everlivethto make intercessionforthem.26Forsuch an high priestbecameus, who is holy,harmless,undefiled,separatefromsinners,andmade higher than the heavens;27Whoneedethnotdaily , as those high priests, to offer upsacrifice,firstfor his ownsins, and then for the people's:forthis he didonce, when he offered uphimself.28For the lawmakethmen high priests which haveinfirmity;but the word of the oath,which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecratedbforevermore.
