KJV ORIGINAL
(For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
Here's the difference: those other priests just got appointed to the job, no big deal. But Jesus? God literally made a promise he can't take back, saying 'You're going to be a priest forever, just like Melchizedek was.' That's not just a job — that's a covenant.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Jesus didn't just get hired as our priest — God made him an unbreakable promise that he'd do it forever.
