• Hebrews 3:2 NT

  who was faithful to him who appointed him, as also Moses was in all his house.

• Hebrews 5:4 NT

  Nobody takes this honor on himself, but he is called by God, just like Aaron was.

• Hebrews 5:5 NT

  So also Christ didn’t glorify himself to be made a high priest, but it was he who said to him, “You are my Son. Today I have become your father.”

• Psalms 110:4 OT

  Yahweh has sworn, and will not change his mind: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”

• Hebrews 8:2 NT

  a servant of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man.

• Hebrews 7:20 NT

  Inasmuch as he was not made priest without the taking of an oath

• Hebrews 7:21 NT

  (for they indeed have been made priests without an oath), but he with an oath by him that says of him, “The Lord swore and will not change his mind, ‘You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.’ ”

  For the law appoints men as high priests who have weakness, but the word of the oath which came after the law appoints a Son forever who has been perfected.

• Hebrews 7:26 NT

  For such a high priest was fitting for us: holy, guiltless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
