Hebrews
Hebrews says Jesus has become the guarantor of a better covenant, and connects this to God’s oath establishing his priesthood. The point is that his priesthood is presented as secured in a stronger way than the previous arrangement (Hebrews 7:20–22).
20Inasmuch as it is not without the taking of an oath,
21for they indeed have been made priests without an oath; but he with an oath by him that says of him, "The Lord swore and will not change his mind, `You are a priest forever, According to the order of Melchizedek`".
22By so much has Jesus become the collateral of a better covenant.
