17 Therefore he had to be made ^ulike his brothers ^vin every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful ^whigh priest in the service of God, to make ^xpropitiation for the sins of the people.

26 For it was indeed fitting that we should have such a ^zhigh priest, holy, innocent, unstained, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens. 27 He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, first ^afor his own sins and then for those of the people, since ^bhe did this ^conce for all when he offered up himself. 28 For the law appoints men in their weakness as high priests, but the word of the oath, which came later than the law, appoints a Son ^dwho has been made perfect forever.
