Jesus Is a Better Priest Because His Priesthood Is Based On God’s Oath
20 And[a] to the degree that it was not without an oath-swearing (for the ones have become[b] priests without an oath-swearing, 21 but the One with an oath-swearing, through the One saying to Him [in Ps 110:4]: “The Lord swore and He will not change-His-mind, You are a priest forever”)— 22 to that degree also Jesus has become the guarantee[c] of a better covenant.
