And they indeed have been made priests, many in number, because they have been prevented by death from continuing; but he, because of his abiding forever, holds his priesthood inviolable. 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. For we needed just such a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens; 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. For the Law appoints human beings to be high priests, men with all their weakness; but the word of the oath, which was later than the Law, appoints a Son, perfected forevermore.
