Hebrews 7:22

Read in context

Hebrews 7:20–24 · Berean Standard Bible

20 And none of this happened without an oath. For others became priests without an oath,

21 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.’”

22 Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.

23 Now there have been many other priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office.

24 But because Jesus lives forever, He has a permanent priesthood.
