Hebrews 7:21-26

Context
7:21 but Jesus 1  did so 2  with a sworn affirmation by the one who said to him, “The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind,You are a priest forever’” 3 7:22 accordingly Jesus has become the guarantee 4  of a better covenant. 7:23 And the others 5  who became priests were numerous, because death prevented them 6  from continuing in office, 7  7:24 but he holds his priesthood permanently since he lives forever. 7:25 So he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them. 7:26 For it is indeed fitting for us to have such a high priest: holy, innocent, undefiled, separate from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.
