26

For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

27

Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.

For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Christ as High Priest

While the verse explicitly mentions "high priests" and "the Son," it does not directly state that the Son *is* a high priest, nor does it detail the functions of mediation, intercession, or sacrifice, which are key aspects of the theme definition.

Completed Atonement

The verse focuses on the nature and duration of Christ's priesthood compared to the Levitical priests, rather than explicitly stating that the work of atonement itself is finished. While it speaks of Christ being "consecrated for evermore," this primarily addresses his ongoing role as priest, not necessarily the completion of the sacrificial act.
