Hebrews 7:25
Wherefore ( οθεν ). Since he alone holds this priesthood.To the uttermost ( εις το παντελες ). Old idiom, in N.T. only here and Lu 13:10. Vulgate renders it in perpetuum (temporal idea) or like παντοτε. This is possible, but the common meaning is completely, utterly.
Draw near ( προσερχομενους ). Present middle participle of προσερχομα, the verb used in 4:16 which see.
To make intercession ( εις το εντυγχανειν ). Purpose clause with εις and the articular present active infinitive of εντυγχανω for which verb see Ro 8:34. "His intercession has red blood in it, unlike Philo's conception" (Moffatt).
