For the Lawappointsmenas high priestswho are weak,but the wordof the oath,which came afterthe Law,[appoints] a Son,made perfectforever.
The LORDhas swornand will not changeHis mind,"You are a priestforeverAccordingto the orderof Melchizedek."
ifthe anointedpriestsinsso as to bringguilton the people,then let him offerto the LORDa bullwithoutdefectas a sinofferingfor the sinhe has committed.
And He saidto them, "Goand tellthat fox,'Behold,I castout demonsand performcurestodayand tomorrow,and the third[day] I reach My goal.'
ThereforewhenJesushad receivedthe sour wine,He said,"It is finished!"And He bowedHis headand gaveup His spirit.
in theselastdayshas spokento us in His Son,whomHe appointedheirof all things,throughwhomalsoHe madethe world.

Therefore,He hadto be made likeHis brethrenin all things,sothat He might becomea mercifuland faithfulhigh priestin things pertainingto God,to make propitiationfor the sinsof the people.
Therefore,holybrethren,partakersof a heavenlycalling,considerJesus,the Apostleand High Priestof our confession;
but Christ[was faithful] as a SonoverHis house--whosehousewe are, ifwe hold fastour confidenceand the boastof our hopefirmuntilthe end.
Therefore,since we havea greathigh priestwhohas passed throughthe heavens,Jesusthe Sonof God,let us hold fastour confession.
SoalsoChristdid not glorifyHimselfso as to becomea high priest,but He whosaidto Him, "YOU ARE MY SON,TODAYI HAVE BEGOTTENYOU";
(for they indeedbecamepriestswithoutan oath, but He with an oaththroughthe One who saidto Him, "THE LORDHAS SWORNAND WILL NOT CHANGE HIS MIND,'YOU ARE A PRIESTFOREVER'");
but Jesus, on the other hand,becauseHe continuesforever,holdsHis priesthoodpermanently.
Without father,without mother,without genealogy,havingneitherbeginningof daysnorendof life,but made likethe Sonof God,he remainsa priestperpetually.
