Wherefore in all things it became him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be merciful, and a faithful high priest in things concerning God, for to purge the people's sins.

Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the celestial callings, consider the Ambassador and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

Seeing, then, that we have a great high priest which is entered into heaven - I mean Jesus the son of God - let us hold our profession.

For we have not a high priest, which cannot have compassion on our infirmities: but was in all points tempted, as we are: but yet without sin.

For every high priest that is taken from among men is ordained for men, in things pertaining to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins:

Even so, likewise, Christ glorified not himself, to be made the high priest: but he that said unto him. "Thou art my son, this day begat I thee."

and is called of God a high priest, after the order of Melchizedek.

whither the forerunner is for us entered in, I mean Jesus that is made a high priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.

Such a high priest it becometh us to have, which is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than heaven.

Which needeth not daily - as yonder high priests - to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's sins. For that did he at once for all, when he offered up himself:

Of the things which we have spoken, this is the sum: that we have such a high priest, that is sitten on the righthand of the seat of majesty in heaven;

For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity, that this man have somewhat also to offer.

But into the second went the high priest alone, once every year: and not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the ignorance of the people.

But Christ being a high priest of good things to come, came by a greater, and a more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands: that is to say, not of this manner building,

Not to offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with strange blood:

And seeing also that we have a high priest which is ruler over the house of God,

For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest to purge sin, are burnt without the tents.
