Christ's Eternal Priesthood Secured by an Oath

20

And inasmuch as it is not without an oath (for the others indeed were made priests without an oath:

21

But this with an oath, by him that said unto him: The Lord hath sworn and he will not repent: Thou art a priest for ever).

22

By so much is Jesus made a surety of a better testament.

23

And the others indeed were made many priests, because by reason of death they were not suffered to continue:

24

But this, for that he continueth for ever, hath an everlasting priesthood:

25

Whereby he is able also to save for ever them that come to God by him; always living to make intercession for us.

26

For it was fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens:

27

Who needeth not daily (as the other priests) to offer sacrifices, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, in offering himself.

28

For the law maketh men priests, who have infirmity: but the word of the oath (which was since the law) the Son who is perfected for evermore.
