And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:
And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.
But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
(for those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art 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 continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.
