Key Passages
And none of this happened without an oath. For others became priests without an oath,
but Jesus became a priest with an oath by the One who said to Him:“The Lord has sworn and will not change His mind:‘You are a priest forever.’”
For the law appoints as high priests men who are weak; but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son, who has been made perfect forever.
