Although the typical priesthood in Jerusalem functioned until the temple was destroyed in 70 C.E., the sacrifices that the priests offered during those years ceased to have any value, having been replaced by Jesus ’ superior sacrifice. ​ — Matthew 23: 37, 38.
Kuigi eelpiltlik preesterkond tegutses Jeruusalemmas templi hävitamiseni aastal 70 m.a.j., ei olnud neil ohvritel, mida preestrid nende aastate kestel ohverdasid, enam mingisugust väärtust, kui need olid asendatud Jeesuse ülima ohvriga. — Matteuse 23: 37, 38.
