| 28 | For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore. | For the law appoints as high priests men who are weak; but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son, who has been made perfect forever. | For the law appointeth men high priests, having infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was after the law, appointeth a Son, perfected for evermore. |
In context
AI-assisted, sourcedHebrews 7:23-28He ever liveth to intercede
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."
