Hebrews 7:23

23 And certainly, so many of the others became priests because, due to death, they were prohibited from continuing. ^{▼▼7:23 Many priests, etc: The apostle notes this difference between the high priests of the law, and our high priest Jesus Christ; that they being removed by death, made way for their successors; whereas our Lord Jesus is a priest for ever, and has no successor; but lives and concurs for ever with his ministers, the priests of the new testament, in all their functions. Also, that no one priest of the law, nor all of them together, could offer that absolute sacrifice of everlasting redemption, which our one high priest Jesus Christ has offered once, and for ever.(Challoner)}
