14 For it is evident that qrour Lord ssprang out of tJuda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood. 15 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest, 16 Who is made, not after the law of tta carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life. 17 For uhe testifieth, vThou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. 18 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before nfor wthe weakness and unprofitableness thereof. 19 For nxthe law made nothing perfect, ||but the bringing in of ya better zhope did; by the which awe draw nigh unto God. 20 And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest: 21 (For those priests were made ||without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, vThe Lord sware and will not brepent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:) 22 By so much was Jesus made ca surety of da ybetter etestament. 23 And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death: 24 But this man, because he continueth fever, hath ||an unchangeable priesthood. 25 Wherefore he is able also to save them ||gto the uttermost ahthat come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth ito make intercession for them.

26 For such jan high priest became us, who is kholy, lharmless, undefiled, mseparate from sinners, and made nhigher than the heavens; 27 Who needeth not nndaily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, ofirst for his own sins, and othen for the people’s: for pthis he did qonce, when he offered up himself. 28 For the law maketh men high priests rwhich have infirmity; but the word of sthe oath, which was since the law, maketh tthe Son, who is †uconsecrated for evermore.
