NASB | Hebrews 7:11 ¶ Now if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood (for on the basis of it the people received the Law), what further need was there for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be designated according to the order of Aaron? |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Hebrews 7:11 ¶ Now if perfection [a perfect fellowship between God and the worshiper] had been attained through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people were given the Law) what further need was there for another and different kind of priest to arise, one in the manner of Melchizedek, rather than one appointed to the order of Aaron? |
Bible Question: I'm hoping someone can help me. Where in the bible (if at all) does it say that after Jesus (and after His death) that we will no longer need to have priests? I'm looking for something that states this very specifically. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! |
Bible Answer: I think the verse you're looking for is cited above. The main theme throughout the book of Hebrews is the superiority of the new High Priest in Christ Jesus, compared to that of the previous Levite priesthood. |
