Hebrews 7:23
Hebrews 7:23 They truly were many priests. Since they were removed by death, there were in succession many Aaronic high priests.
21 (for they have become priests without an oath, but He with an oath by Him who said to Him:
a“The Lord has sworn
And will not relent,
‘You are a priest1 forever
According to the order of Melchizedek’ ”),
a“The Lord has sworn
And will not relent,
‘You are a priest1 forever
According to the order of Melchizedek’ ”),
22 by so much more Jesus has become a1 surety of a abetter covenant.
23 Also there were many priests, because they were prevented by death from continuing.
24 But He, because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood.
25 Therefore He is also aable to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives bto make intercession for them.
26 For such a High Priest was fitting for us, awho is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, band has become higher than the heavens;
27 who does not need daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His aown sins and then for the people’s, for this He did once for all when He offered up Himself.
