Hebrews 7:17

“for it is testified, "You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.”

Verse in context — Hebrews 7

This is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest,

who has been made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but after the power of an endless life:

for it is testified, "You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.

For there is an annulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and uselessness

(for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.

Jesus as the ultimate High Priest and fulfillment of the Old Covenant.
