Contextual Overview

¹¹ If therefore perfection was by the priesthood of ye Leuites (For vnder that priesthood the people receaued the law) what neded it furthermore that another priest shoulde rise after the order of Melchisedech, and not to be called after the order of Aaron? ¹² For yf the priesthood be translated, of necessitie also there is made a translation of the lawe. ¹³ For he of whom these thynges are spoken, parteyneth vnto another tribe, of which no man stoode at the aulter. ¹⁴ For it is euident that our Lord sprong out of Iuda, of which tribe spake Moyses nothyng concernyng priesthood: ¹⁵ And it is yet a farre more euidet thing, yf after the similitude of Melchisedech there aryse another priest, ¹⁶ Which is not made after the lawe of the carnall commaundement, but after the power of the endlesse lyfe: ¹⁷ For he testifieth that thou art a priest for euer, after the order of Melchisedech. ¹⁸ For there is truely a disanulling of the commaundement goyng before, for the weakenesse and vnprofitablenesse therof. ¹⁹ For the lawe made nothyng perfect, but [was] the bryngyng in of a better hope, by the whiche we drawe nygh vnto God. ²⁰ And in as much as that was not without an oth (For those priestes were made without an oth:

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But this man, because he continueth ever,.... Though he died, death did not forbid him to continue, as it does other men; he was not forced to die, he died voluntarily; and he continued but for a small time under the power of death; besides, his death was a branch of his priestly office: so that he not only continued in his divine nature, which still had the human nature in union with it, but he continued in his office as a priest, and quickly rose from the dead; and the virtue of his sacrifice always remains, and he himself ever lives as an intercessor: wherefore he

hath an unchangeable priesthood; which will never be antiquated, and give place to another; nor does it, or ever will it pass from him to another, for it is needless, seeing he lives, and no other is sufficient for it; and it would be injustice to pass it to another; the glory of it is due to him; and this is matter of comfort to the saints, that he sits a priest upon his throne, and that his priesthood always continues.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

But this man - Greek “But he” - referring to Christ.

Because he continueth ever - Greek “Because he remains forever.” The idea is because he does not die, but ever lives, he has an unchanging priesthood. There is no necessity that he should yield it to others, as was the case with the Jewish priests because they were mortal. The reason in their case, why it passed to others, was not that they did not perform the office well, but that they were mortal, and could not continue to hold it. But this reason could not operate in the case of the Lord Jesus, and therefore his priesthood would be permanent.

Hath an unchangeable priesthood - Margin, “or, “which passeth not from one to another.” The margin expresses the sense of the passage. The idea is not strictly that it was “unchangable,” but that “it did not pass over into other hands.” The Levitical priesthood passed from one to another as successive generations came on the stage of action. This reasoning is not designed to prove that the priesthood of Christ will be literally “eternal” - for its necessity may cease when all the redeemed are in heaven - but that it is permanent, and does not pass from hand to hand,

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 24. But this — οδε, But he, that is, Christ, because he continueth ever i s eternal, hath an unchangeable priesthood, απαραβατον ιερωσυνην, a priesthood that passeth not away from him; he lives for ever, and he lives a priest for ever.
