'Priest' in the Bible

Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the apostle and chief priest of our profession, Christ Jesus,

Having, then, a great chief priest passed through the heavens -- Jesus the Son of God -- may we hold fast the profession,

for we have not a chief priest unable to sympathise with our infirmities, but one tempted in all things in like manner -- apart from sin;

For every chief priest -- out of men taken -- in behalf of men is set in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins,

so also the Christ did not glorify himself to become chief priest, but He who spake unto him: 'My Son thou art, I to-day have begotten thee;'

as also in another place He saith, 'Thou art a priest -- to the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;'

having been addressed by God a chief priest, according to the order of Melchisedek,

whither a forerunner for us did enter -- Jesus, after the order of Melchisedek chief priest having become -- to the age.

For this Melchisedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who did meet Abraham turning back from the smiting of the kings, and did bless him,

without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, and being made like to the Son of God, doth remain a priest continually.

If indeed, then, perfection were through the Levitical priesthood -- for the people under it had received law -- what further need, according to the order of Melchisedek, for another priest to arise, and not to be called according to the order of Aaron?

And it is yet more abundantly most evident, if according to the similitude of Melchisedek there doth arise another priest,

for He doth testify -- 'Thou art a priest -- to the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;'

and he with an oath through Him who is saying unto him, 'The Lord sware, and will not repent, Thou art a priest -- to the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;')

For such a chief priest did become us -- kind, harmless, undefiled, separate from the sinners, and become higher than the heavens,

And the sum concerning the things spoken of is: we have such a chief priest, who did sit down at the right hand of the throne of the greatness in the heavens,

for every chief priest to offer both gifts and sacrifices is appointed, whence it is necessary for this one to have also something that he may offer;

for if, indeed, he were upon earth, he would not be a priest -- (there being the priests who are offering according to the law, the gifts,

and into the second, once in the year, only the chief priest, not apart from blood, which he doth offer for himself and the errors of the people,

And Christ being come, chief priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands -- that is, not of this creation --

nor that he may many times offer himself, even as the chief priest doth enter into the holy places every year with blood of others;

and every priest, indeed, hath stood daily serving, and the same sacrifices many times offering, that are never able to take away sins.

and a high priest over the house of God,

for of those beasts whose blood is brought for sin into the holy places through the chief priest -- of these the bodies are burned without the camp.
