Hebrews 7:13-14
v. 13: The new High Priest, Jesus, comes from the tribe of Judah—not Levi. Moses never said anything about priests coming from Judah, so this is a clear sign that God has changed the way priests are chosen. This shows there is a real change in God’s plan for the priesthood (Hebrews 7:13-14 a). v. 14: Instead of being made a priest by family lineage, Jesus is made a priest by “the power of an endless life.” The Levitical priests died and passed their office to their children, but Jesus is High Priest forever. He holds his office because he lives forever, not because of human ancestry.
