Hebrews 7:15-28 - Another Priest, Like Melchizedek

¹⁵ And it is yet more abundantly evident, that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest, ¹⁶ who is made not according to the law of a temporary command, but according to the power of an endless life. ¹⁷ For He testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

¹⁸ For there is indeed a disannulling of the preceding command, on account of it's weakness and unprofitableness; ¹⁹ for the law made nothing perfect, but the introducing of a better hope did, by which we draw near to God.

²⁰ Moreover inasmuch as He was not made priest without an oath, ²¹ (for they indeed are become priests without the solemnity of an oath; but He with an oath, by Him who said unto Him, "The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:")

²² by so much is Jesus become the surety of a better covenant.

²³ And they were many priests, because they were by death hindered from continuing in their office; ²⁴ but He, because He abideth for ever, hath a priesthood that passeth not to any other: ²⁵ wherefore also He is able to save to the uttermost, those that come unto God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them.

²⁶ For such an high-priest was meet for us, who was holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and higher than the heavens; ²⁷ who hath no need, as the Levitical high-priests had, daily to offer sacrifices first for his own sins, and then for those of the people: for this He did once for all, in offering up Himself. ²⁸ For the law appointeth men high-priests, who have infirmity; but the oath, recorded since the law, appointeth the Son to be priest for ever, being fully perfected for it.
