Hebreus 7:24 Meaning and Commentary

Hebrews 7:24

But this man, because he continueth ever
Though he died, death did not forbid him to continue, as it does other men; he was not forced to die, he died voluntarily; and he continued but for a small time under the power of death; besides, his death was a branch of his priestly office: so that he not only continued in his divine nature, which still had the human nature in union with it, but he continued in his office as a priest, and quickly rose from the dead; and the virtue of his sacrifice always remains, and he himself ever lives as an intercessor: wherefore he

hath an unchangeable priesthood;
which will never be antiquated, and give place to another; nor does it, or ever will it pass from him to another, for it is needless, seeing he lives, and no other is sufficient for it; and it would be injustice to pass it to another; the glory of it is due to him; and this is matter of comfort to the saints, that he sits a priest upon his throne, and that his priesthood always continues.

Hebreus 7:24 In-Context

22 Jesus tornou-se, por isso mesmo, a garantia de uma aliança superior.

23 Ora, daqueles sacerdotes tem havido muitos, porque a morte os impede de continuar em seu ofício;

24 mas, visto que vive para sempre, Jesus tem um sacerdócio permanente.

25 Portanto, ele é capaz de salvar definitivamente aqueles que, por meio dele, se aproximam de Deus, pois vive sempre para interceder por eles.

26 É de um sumo sacerdote como esse que precisávamos: santo, inculpável, puro, separado dos pecadores, exaltado acima dos céus.
