Hebrews 7:20-22
Evangelical Heritage Version
20 And something like this did not happen without an oath. Indeed, others who became priests did so without an oath, 21 but this one became a priest with an oath, through the one who said to him:
The Lord has sworn an oath
and will not change his mind:
“You are a priest forever.”[a]
22 In this way, Jesus has become the guarantor[b] of a better covenant.[c]
