Christ's Eternal Priesthood Secured by an Oath

20

And for as much as it is not without an othe (for these are made Priestes without an othe:

21

But this is made with an othe by him that said vnto him, The Lord hath sworne, and will not repent, Thou art a Priest for euer, after the order of Melchi-sedec)

22

By so much is Iesus made a suretie of a better Testament.

23

And among them many were made Priests, because they were not suffered to endure, by the reason of death.

24

But this man, because hee endureth euer, hath a Priesthood, which cannot passe from one to another.

25

Wherefore, hee is able also perfectly to saue them that come vnto God by him, seeing he euer liueth, to make intercession for them.

26

For such an hie Priest it became vs to haue, which is holy, harmelesse, vndefiled, separate from sinners, and made hier then the heauens:

27

Which needeth not daily as those hie Priests to offer vp sacrifice, first for his owne sinnes, and then for the peoples: for that did he once, when he offered vp himselfe.

28

For the Law maketh men hie Priestes, which haue infirmitie: but the word of the othe that was since the Lawe, maketh the Sonne, who is consecrated for euermore.
