Hebrews 7:26

A Superior Priesthood

25Therefore He is able to save completely those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to intercede for them.26Such a high priest truly befits us—One who is holy, innocent, undefiled, set apart from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.27Unlike the other high priests, He does not need to offer daily sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people; He sacrificed for sin once for all when He offered up Himself.
