Lectio brevis (Hebr 7, 24-27)
Iesus eo quod manet in ætérnum, intransgressíbile habet sacerdótium, unde et salváre in perpétuum potest accedéntes per semetípsum ad Deum, semper vivens ad interpellándum pro eis. Talis enim et decébat, ut nobis esset póntifex, sanctus, ínnocens, impollútus, segregátus a peccatóribus et excélsior cælis factus, qui non habet necessitátem cotídie, quemádmodum pontífices, prius pro suis delíctis hóstias offérre, deínde pro pópuli; hoc enim fecit semel semetípsum offeréndo.
But this, for that he continueth for ever, hath an everlasting priesthood, Whereby he is able also to save for ever them that come to God by him; always living to make intercession for us. For it was fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; Who needeth not daily (as the other priests) to offer sacrifices first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, in offering himself.
