Christ's Eternal Priesthood Secured by an Oath

20

And inasmuch as it is not apart from oath, (for those indeed apart from oath are become priests,

21

and he with an oath through Him who is saying unto him, `The Lord sware, and will not repent, Thou art a priest--to the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;')

22

by so much of a better covenant hath Jesus become surety,

23

and those indeed are many who have become priests, because by death they are hindered from remaining;

24

and he, because of his remaining--to the age, hath the priesthood not transient,

25

whence also he is able to save to the very end, those coming through him unto God--ever living to make intercession for them.

26

For such a chief priest did become us--kind, harmless, undefiled, separate from the sinners, and become higher than the heavens,

27

who hath no necessity daily, as the chief priests, first for his own sins to offer up sacrifice, then for those of the people; for this he did once, having offered up himself;

28

for the law doth appoint men chief priests, having infirmity, but the word of the oath that is after the law appointeth the Son--to the age having been perfected.
