Hebrews 7:25

Hebrews 7:25

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.

Wherefore (oqen). Since he alone holds this priesthood.

To the uttermost (eiv to pantelev). Old idiom, in N.T. only here and Luke 13:10. Vulgate renders it in perpetuum (temporal idea) or like pantote. This is possible, but the common meaning is completely, utterly.

Draw near (proserxomenouv). Present middle participle of proserxomai, the verb used in Hebrews 4:16 which see.

To make intercession (eiv to entugxanein). Purpose clause with eiv and the articular present active infinitive of entugxanw for which verb see Romans 8:34. "His intercession has red blood in it, unlike Philo's conception" (Moffatt).
