Hebrews 7:22-25

WEB · Bible Passage

Bible Text

[22] By so much has Jesus become the collateral of a better covenant. [23] Many, indeed, have been made priests, because they are hindered from continuing by death. [24] But he, because he lives forever, has his priesthood unchangeable. [25] Therefore he is also able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, seeing he ever lives to make intercession for them.

Salem, associated with ancient Jerusalem, appears earlier in Hebrews 7 through Melchizedek, its priest-king. That background supports the passage’s contrast: unlike temporary Levitical priests, Jesus holds an eternal priesthood and therefore permanently intercedes for his people.
