And they indeed have been made priests many in number, because that by death they are hindered from continuing:
But John would have hindered him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
(for they indeed have been made priests without an oath; but he with an oath by him that saith of him, The Lord sware and will not repent himself, Thou art a priest for ever);
by so much also hath Jesus become the surety of a better covenant.
but he, because he abideth for ever, hath his priesthood unchangeable.
And here men that die receive tithes; but there one, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.
