Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Hebrews 7
²³ The former priests, on the one hand, existed in greater numbers because they were prevented by death from continuing,
²⁴ but Jesus, on the other hand, because He continues forever, holds His priesthood permanently.
²⁵ Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.
²⁶ For it was fitting for us to have such a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners and exalted above the heavens;
²⁷ who does not need daily, like those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people, because this He did once for all when He offered up Himself.
²⁸ For the Law appoints men as high priests who are weak, but the word of the oath, which came after the Law, appoints a Son, made perfect forever.
Hebrews 8
¹ Now the main point in what has been said is this: we have such a high priest, who has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,
² a minister in the sanctuary and in the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, not man.
³ For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices; so it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offer.
⁴ Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest at all, since there are those who offer the gifts according to the Law;
⁵ who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, just as Moses was warned by God when he was about to erect the tabernacle; for, "See," He says, "that you make all things according to the pattern which was shown you on the mountain."
