Hebrews 7:22-27
New Century Version
Hebrews 7:22-27
New Century Version
22 This means that Jesus is the guarantee of a better agreement[a] from God to his people.
23 When one of the other priests died, he could not continue being a priest. So there were many priests. 24 But because Jesus lives forever, he will never stop serving as priest. 25 So he is able always to save those who come to God through him because he always lives, asking God to help them.
26 Jesus is the kind of high priest we need. He is holy, sinless, pure, not influenced by sinners, and he is raised above the heavens. 27 He is not like the other priests who had to offer sacrifices every day, first for their own sins, and then for the sins of the people. Christ offered his sacrifice only once and for all time when he offered himself.

23 Now there have been many of those priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office; 24 but because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood.(B) 25 Therefore he is able to save(C) completely[a] those who come to God(D) through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.(E)
26 Such a high priest(F) truly meets our need—one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners,(G) exalted above the heavens.(H) 27 Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices(I) day after day, first for his own sins,(J) and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all(K) when he offered himself.(L)
