And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:
But John forbade him, saying, I have need to be baptized of you, and come you to me?
(For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said to him, The Lord swore and will not repent, You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)
By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
But this man, because he continues ever, has an unchangeable priesthood.
And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receives them, of whom it is witnessed that he lives.
