23And they indeed have become many priests, because they are prevented by death from remaining in office,

24But he, because he remains forever, holds the priesthood permanently.

25Therefore he is also able to save completely those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to intercede for them.

26For such a high priest was indeed fitting for us: holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and having become higher than the heavens.

27who has no need, day after day, like the high priests, to offer up sacrifices first for his own sins and then for those of the people, for this he did once for all when he offered up himself.

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