Hebrews 7:23 in Context — Hebrews 7
21 car, tandis que les Lévites sont devenus sacrificateurs sans serment, Jésus l’est devenu avec serment par celui qui lui a dit: Le Seigneur a juré, et il ne se repentira pas: Tu es sacrificateur pour toujours, Selon l’ordre de Melchisédek.
22 Jésus est par cela même le garant d’une alliance plus excellente.
23 De plus, il y a eu des sacrificateurs en grand nombre, parce que la mort les empêchait d’être permanents.
24 Mais lui, parce qu’il demeure éternellement, possède un sacerdoce qui n’est pas transmissible.
25 C’est aussi pour cela qu’il peut sauver parfaitement ceux qui s’approchent de Dieu par lui, étant toujours vivant pour intercéder en leur faveur.
