23 And these priests were many, because they were mortal, and they were not permitted to continue because of death: 24 But this man, because he is immortal, has a priesthood which remains for ever. 25 Therefore he is able to forever save those who come to God by him because forever he lives to make intercession for them. 26 For this is the kind of high priest proper for us; pure, without evil, and undefiled, far away from sin, and made higher than the heavens; 27 And who needs not daily, as do those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for their own sins, and then for the people’s, for this he did once when he offered up himself. 28 For the law appoints imperfect men priests; but the word of the oath which came after the law appoints the Son who is perfect for evermore.
