Hebrews 7:23-26 There have been many priests. This is because they have been prevented from continuing by death.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ There have been many priests. This is because they have been prevented from continuing by death. ²⁴ He continues forever and therefore has his priesthood without change. ²⁵ He is able to save completely those who approach God through him, because he is always alive to intercede for them. ²⁶ Such a high priest as this was suitable for us. He is holy, harmless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and higher than the heavens.
