Context Readings

Another Priest, Like Melchizedek

25 Hence also he is able to continue saving to the uttermost those who are ever drawing near to God through him, seeing that he is ever living to intercede for them. 26 For we needed just such a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens; 27 one who has no need, like the high priests, to offer up daily sacrifices, first for his own sins, then for those of the people. For his sacrifice was made once for all, when he offered up himself.
