For the law appoints as high priests men who are weak, but the promise of the oath, which came after the law, appoints a Son, who has been perfected forever.

For in bringing many sons to glory, it was entirely appropriate that God—all things exist for Him and through Him—should make the source of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

In these last days, He has spoken to us by His Son. God has appointed Him heir of all things and made the universe through Him.

but He became a priest with an oath made by the One who said to Him:

The Lord has sworn,
and He will not change His mind,
You are a priest forever.

Then Moses asked Aaron, “What did these people do to you that you have led them into such a grave sin?”

“If the anointed priest sins, bringing guilt on the people, he is to present to the Lord a young, unblemished bull as a sin offering for the sin he has committed.

The Lord has sworn an oath and will not take it back:
“Forever, You are a priest
like Melchizedek.”

He said to them, “Go tell that fox, ‘Look! I’m driving out demons and performing healings today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will complete My work.’

When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” Then bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.

But Christ was faithful as a Son over His household. And we are that household if we hold on to the courage and the confidence of our hope.

Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens—Jesus the Son of God—let us hold fast to the confession.

For every high priest taken from men is appointed in service to God for the people, to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.

In the same way, the Messiah did not exalt Himself to become a high priest, but the One who said to Him, You are My Son; today I have become Your Father,

Though He was God’s Son, He learned obedience through what He suffered.
