Hebrews 7:23-26

23The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office,

24but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues forever.

25Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.

26For it was indeed fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, innocent, unstained, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.
