Hebrews 7:20-28

20And to the extentG3745 that it was not withoutG5565 an oathG3728 21(for they indeedG3303 becameG1096 priestsG2409 withoutG5565 an oathG3728, but He with an oathG3728 throughG1223 the One who saidG3004 to Him, “1The LordG2962 has swornG3660 And 2will not changeG3338 His mindG3338, ‘You are a priestG2409 3foreverG165’”); 22by the sameG5118 extentG5118 JesusG2424 alsoG2532 has becomeG1096 the 45guaranteeG1450 of 6a betterG2909 covenantG1242.

237The former priestsG2409, on the oneG3303 handG3303, existedG1510G1096 in greaterG4183 numbersG4183 becauseG1223 they were preventedG2967 by deathG2288 from continuingG3887; 248Jesus, on the otherG1161 handG1161, becauseG1223 He continuesG3306 9foreverG165, holdsG2192 His priesthoodG2420 permanentlyG531. 25ThereforeG3606 He is alsoG2532 ableG1410 to 10saveG4982 11foreverG1519G3838 thoseG3588 who 12comeG4334 toG4334 GodG2316 throughG1223 Him, since He alwaysG3842 livesG2198 to 13makeG1793 intercessionG1793 for them.

26For it was fittingG4241 for us to have suchG5108 aG5108 14highG749 priestG749, 15holyG3741, 16innocentG172, undefiledG283, separatedG5563 from sinnersG268, and 17exaltedG1096G5308 above the heavensG3772; 27whoG3739 hasG2192 noG3756 dailyG2596G2250 needG318, likeG5618 thoseG3588 highG749 priestsG749, to 18offerG399 upG399 sacrificesG2378, 19firstG4387 for His ownG2398 sinsG266 and thenG1899 for the sins of the peopleG2992, becauseG1063 He didG4160 thisG3778 20onceG2178 forG2178 allG2178 time when He 21offeredG399 upG399 HimselfG1438. 28For the LawG3551 appointsG2525 menG444 as highG749 priestsG749 22who are weakG769, but the wordG3056 of the oathG3728, which came afterG3326 the LawG3551, appoints 23a SonG5207, who has been 24madeG5048 perfectG5048 foreverG165.
