| 26 | For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; | Such a high priest truly befits us—One who is holy, innocent, undefiled, set apart from sinners, and exalted above the heavens. | For such a high priest became us, holy, guileless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; |

About Hebrews 7Melchisedec, "king of Salem, priest of the most high God," met and blessed Abraham, and Abraham "gave a tenth part of all," showing "how great this man was." Since "the law made nothing perfect," God raised up a priest from Juda "after the order of Melchisedec," made by an oath, so Jesus is "a surety of a better testament" with "an unchangeable priesthood." "He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them," and unlike the high priests he offered for sins once, "when he offered up himself."
