VER. 23, 24, 25.
And they truly were many Priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of Death. But this Man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable Priesthood. Wherefore he is able to save them also to the uttermost, that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make Intercession for them.
The Apostle in these words proceedeth unto his last Argument, from the consideration of the Priesthood of Christ, as Typed and represented by that of Melchizedek. And his intention is still to prove the excellency of it above the Levitical, and of his Person above theirs. And in particular he makes it manifest that the bringing in of this better Hope, did perfect or consummate all things which the Law could not do.
