And the Levitical priests, on the one hand, have become numerous, because they have been prevented by death from continuing in office, but He, on the other hand, because He Himself lives on forever, enjoys the only priesthood that has no successors in office. Therefore, because He Himself lives always to intercede for them always, He is able to save completely any and all who come to God through Him. For we needed such a High Priest, holy, innocent, unstained, far removed from sinful men, and elevated far above the very heavens, who does not need, as did the Levitical priests, to offer sacrifices, first for his own sins and then for those of the people; this latter is just what He did once for all when He offered up Himself.
