“Many, indeed, have been made priests, because they are hindered from continuing by death.”
Hebrews 7:23 (WEB)
Context Reading
21(for they indeed have been made priests without an oath), but he with an oath by him that says of him,“The Lord swore and will not change his mind,‘You are a priest forever,according to the order of Melchizedek.’” 22By so much, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant. 23Many, indeed, have been made priests, because they are hindered from continuing by death. 24But he, because he lives forever, has his priesthood unchangeable. 25Therefore he is also able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, seeing that he lives forever to make intercession for them.
