Hebrews 7:20–28

²⁰And inasmuch as it is not without an oath (for the others indeed were made priests without an oath:

²¹But 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).

²²By so much is Jesus made a surety of a better testament.

²³And the others indeed were made many priests, because by reason of death they were not suffered to continue:

²⁴But this, for that he continueth for ever, hath an everlasting priesthood:

²⁵Whereby he is able also to save for ever them that come to God by him; always living to make intercession for us.

²⁶For it was fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens:

²⁷Who 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.

²⁸For 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.
