20. And according to this superior measure, it was not without the swearing of an oath that He was made a Priest. (For those who descend from Aaron are made priests without the swearing of an oath;
21. But He was made a Priest with the swearing of an oath by Him Who says concerning Him, “The Lord swore and will not revoke His word, ‘You are a Priest forever according to the order of Melchisedec.’ “)
22. By such a greater measure then, Jesus was made the Guarantor of a superior covenant.
23. Now in the one case, there were many priests because they were not able to continue to serve by reason of death;
24. But in the other case, because He is living forever, His priesthood never changes.
25. Therefore, He has the power throughout all time to save those who come to God through Him because He is ever living to intercede for them.
26. For it is fitting that we should have such a High Priest Who is holy, blameless, undefiled, set apart from sinners and made higher than the heavens;
27. Who has no need, as do the other high priests, to offer up sacrifices day by day, first for his own sins and then for the sins of the people; for this He did once for all time when He offered up Himself.
28. For the priestly law makes high priests of men who have weaknesses;but by the word of the swearing of the oath, which supersedes the priestly law, the Son, Who has been perfected forever, has been made High Priest. (A Faithful Version)

20. 若是根據這項更新的安排,耶穌並非沒有宣誓,就被任命為祭司。(亞倫的後裔是無須起誓)。

21. 只是那穌是在宣誓後才被任命為祭司,論到耶穌:神自己肯定,不會撤銷對耶穌的承諾,而是按照著麥基洗德之後,永遠為祭司。

22. 這是個更大的準則,讓耶穌成為至高契約的擔保人。

23. 正因如此,有一種情況出現,有許多祭司不可能去持續在這崗位上事奉,因為會死亡。

24. 另一種情況產生,因為基督永遠活著,祭司的職分就會永不改變。

25. 因此,耶穌自始至終都有力量,拯救那些透過耶穌,來到神面前的人。因基督永遠活著,為人代求。

26. 有這樣一位大祭司,對人來說是合宜,因基督是聖潔、無可指摘、無玷污、遠離惡事、且高過諸天。

27. 不像其他大祭司,每日獻祭之先,先為自己的過犯,然後為百姓的過犯。只是基督,當獻上自己時,就完成了永遠的代贖。

28. 一般成為祭司的法規,選出來的大祭司是有人性的弱點。但憑著神的肯定,替代了祭司律例,神的兒子,是位永恆地完美的大祭司。

作者去解釋在制度形成的祭司和耶穌基督被神立為祭司之間的差別,從麥基洗德大祭司那沒有歷史可尋的,到耶穌有名有出身這樣可尋的歷史,是一種不同。再以二者的身份地位而言,麥基洗德不知從何而來,而耶穌是神肯定,地位遠遠超過麥基洗德。

在此段更說明制度出現的大祭司是具人性的弱點,而且會死,這個人是不能永遠履行大祭司這職份,每次有新的,這個就必定有人的弱點,就有不能完全成為代贖的中間人。耶穌不是,他是以自己為祭,一次獻上,成為永續,而且完滿,因為是神的兒子,是人可以依賴的代贖中間人。耶穌的代贖是神肯定。

按這原則,今日信神的人,都被稱為神的兒子,同屬代贖的中間人,推薦人給神。只是信的人會犯錯,因此要介紹人認識耶穌,他是基督,曾經是人卻不曾犯過錯。信眾是可以犯錯,也可能不時會這樣,只是因耶穌的存在,人犯的,都因耶穌基督是被肯定的大祭司,為人犯的過獻上了自己,作為代贖,是永遠兼且完滿成為代贖之祭。

某種意義上,信神的是可以不時犯錯,這是信神的權利。神不怕信的人不停犯錯,只要想回轉,隨時可以,因為耶穌基督的代贖,是在這方面顯出它的完美:在犯錯中進步,才有愛去幫助犯錯的人。
