21 (for they have become priests without an oath, but He with an oath by Him who said to Him:
(A)“The Lord has sworn
And will not relent,
‘You are a priest [a]forever
According to the order of Melchizedek’ ”),
22 by so much more Jesus has become a [b]surety of a (B)better covenant.
23 Also there were many priests, because they were prevented by death from continuing. 24 But He, because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood. 25 Therefore He is also (C)able to save [c]to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives (D)to make intercession for them.
26 For such a High Priest was fitting for us, (E)who is holy, [d]harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, (F)and has become higher than the heavens;

19 (A)Now Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross. And the writing was:
JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

21 Therefore the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,’ but, ‘He said, “I am the King of the Jews.” ’ ”
22 Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”
