He is the radiance of his glory and the exact representation of his being, and upholds all things by the word of his power. When he had made purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

But to which of the angels has he ever said, "Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies a stool for your feet"?

On the one hand, a former commandment is set aside because of its weakness and uselessness

(for the law made nothing perfect); and on the other hand, a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God.

Now the point in what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,

not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; for they did not continue in my covenant, and so I paid no heed to them, says the Lord.

But when he had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God,

fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
