Hebrews

Hebrews 7:24–26

²⁴But because Jesus lives forever, He has a permanent priesthood. ²⁵Therefore He is able to save completely^d those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to intercede for them.

²⁶Such a high priest truly befits us — One who is holy, innocent, undefiled, set apart from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.
