Context Readings

Another Priest, Like Melchizedek

25 wherefore he is also able to save to the uttermost those coming unto God through him, ever living to intercede for them. 26 For such a high priest was indeed appropriate unto us, holy, free from sin, undefiled, having been separated from the sinners, and being higher than the heavens; 27 who had not daily need, as the high priests, first to offer up sacrifices for their own sins, then those of the people: for he did this, having offered up himself once.
