21 (Porque los otros cierto sin juramento fueron hechos sacerdotes; mas éste, con juramento por el que le dijo: Juró el Señor, y no se arrepentirá: Tú eres sacerdote eternamente según el orden de Melchîsedec:)
22 Tanto de mejor testamento es hecho fiador Jesús.
23 Y los otros cierto fueron muchos sacerdotes, en cuanto por la muerte no podían permanecer.
24 Mas éste, por cuanto permanece para siempre, tiene un sacerdocio inmutable:
25 Por lo cual puede también salvar eternamente á los que por él se allegan á Dios, viviendo siempre para interceder por ellos.
