Hebrews 7:20-22
International Standard Version

20 Now none of this happened without an oath. Others became priests without any oath, 21 but Jesus[a] became a priest[b] with an oath when God[c] told him,

“The Lord[d] has taken an oath
    and will not change his mind.
You are a priest forever.”[e]

22 In this way, Jesus has become the guarantor of a better covenant.
