Hebrews 7:16-18

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁶Jesus did not become a priest because of a law about which family he came from. He became God's priest because of his powerful life that nothing could ever destroy. ¹⁷The Bible speaks about him as a priest like this:

‘You will be a priest for ever,
in the same way that Melchizedek was God's priest.’^[a]

¹⁸So the old law about priests no longer has authority. It was weak and it could not help people.
