And by so much as He was not appointed without God's taking an oath -- for the Levitical priests were appointed without His taking an oath, but He with His oath, when He said to Him: "The Lord took oath and will not change, You are a priest forever" -- so much the more Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant. read more.
And the Levitical priests, on the one hand, have become numerous, because they have been prevented by death from continuing in office, but He, on the other hand, because He Himself lives on forever, enjoys the only priesthood that has no successors in office. Therefore, because He Himself lives always to intercede for them always, He is able to save completely any and all who come to God through Him. For we needed such a High Priest, holy, innocent, unstained, far removed from sinful men, and elevated far above the very heavens, who does not need, as did the Levitical priests, to offer sacrifices, first for his own sins and then for those of the people; this latter is just what He did once for all when He offered up Himself. For the law appoints imperfect men as high priests, but the assertion about the taking of an oath, which was spoken after the time of the law, appoints a Son who is perfectly qualified to be High Priest forever.
