FULFILLMENT
24. But this [man], because he continueth
ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.
25. Wherefore 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.
26. For such an high priest became us, [who
is] holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher
than the heavens;
27. Who needeth not daily, as those high
priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the
people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.
Hebrews 7:24-27 (also see Hebrews 3:1; 4:14,15;
5:5,6,8-10)
