Hebrews 7:23-28 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

23. Those priests were many because they were prevented by death from remaining in office,

24. but he, because he remains forever, has a priesthood that does not pass away.

25. Therefore, he is always able to save those who approach God through him, since he lives forever to make intercession for them.

26. It was fitting that we should have such a high priest: holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, higher than the heavens.

27. He has no need, as did the high priests, to offer sacrifice day after day, first for his own sins and then for those of the people; he did that once for all when he offered himself.

28. For the law appoints men subject to weakness to be high priests, but the word of the oath, which was taken after the law, appoints a son, who has been made perfect forever.
