Hebrews 7:24 - Forerunner Commentary

Hebrews 7:24

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.

28 For the law appoints as high priests men who have weakness, but the word of the oath, which came after the law, appoints the Son who has been perfected forever.
