Therefore in all things it behoved him to be made like His brothers, that He might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of His people.

Therefore, holy brothers, called to be partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus,

Since then we have a great High Priest who has passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

For we do not have a high priest who cannot be touched with the feelings of our infirmities, but was in all points tempted just as we are, yet without sin.

For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in the things pertaining to God, so that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins,

So also Christ did not glorify Himself to be made a high priest, but He who said to Him, "You are My Son, today I have begotten You."

As He says also in another place, "You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek."

being called by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek;

where the Forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

For this Melchizedek, king of Salem and priest of the Most High God, met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him.

without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God, he remains a priest continually.

And truly they who are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priest, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the Law, that is, from their brothers, though they come out of the loins of Abraham.

Therefore if perfection were by the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the Law), what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

And it is still far more evident, since there arises another priest after the likeness of Melchizedek,

For He testifies, "You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek."

And inasmuch as He was not made priest without an oath

(for those priests were made without an oath, but this one was made with an oath by Him who said to Him, "The Lord swore and will not repent, You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek,")

For such a high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners and made higher than the heavens,

Now the sum of the things which we have spoken is this: We have such a High Priest, who has sat down on the right of the throne of the Majesty in Heaven,

For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this One have something to offer also.

For if indeed He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are priests who offer gifts according to the Law,

But once in the year into the second the high priest goes alone, not without blood, which he offered for himself and for the errors of the people)

But when Christ had become a high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building

Nor yet that He should offer Himself often, even as the high priest enters into the Holy of Holies every year with the blood of others

And indeed every priest stands daily ministering and offering often the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.

and having a High Priest over the house of God,

For the bodies of those animals, whose blood is brought into the Holy of Holies by the high priest for sin, are burned outside the camp.
