Hebrews 7:20-28

21st Century King James Version

²⁰ And inasmuch as it was not without an oath that He was made priest

²¹ (for those priests were made without an oath, but He with an oath by Him who said unto Him: “The Lord swore and will not repent, ‘Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.’”),

²² by so much more was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.

²³ And those priests truly were many, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death;

²⁴ but this Man, because He continueth forever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.

²⁵ Therefore He is able also to save to the uttermost those who come unto God by Him, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them.

²⁶ For such a High Priest who is befitting for us, holy, undisposed to harm, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens,

²⁷ who needeth not, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice daily first for His own sins and then for the people’s; for this He did once when He offered up Himself.

²⁸ For the law maketh men high priests who have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which came since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.
