Therefore he was obligated to be made like his brothers in accordance with all things, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things toward God, in order to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

Because of which, holy brothers, companions of a heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our affirmation, Jesus Christ,

Having therefore a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us take hold of the affirmation.

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but who was tempted in all things in the same way, without sin.

For every high priest taken from men is appointed for men in things toward God, so that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.

So also Christ did not glorify himself to become a high priest, but it was he who said to him, Thou are my Son, today I have begotten thee.

(And just as he says in another, Thou are a priest into the age according to the order of Melchizedek.)

having been designated by God a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.

where the forerunner, Jesus, entered for us, having become a high priest into the age according to the order of Melchizedek.

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

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

If indeed therefore perfection was through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people had received the law), what further need is there for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be designated

And it is still far more evident, if according to the likeness of Melchizedek, there arises another priest,

For he testifies, Thou are a priest into the age according to the order of Melchizedek.

but he with an oath, because of him who says to him, The Lord swore and will not change his mind, Thou are a priest into the age according to the order of Melchizedek.

For such a high priest is fitting for us, devout, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and having become higher than the heavens.

Now a summation about the things being spoken is, we have such a high priest who was seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,

For every high priest is appointed in order to offer both gifts and sacrifices, whereupon it is necessary for this man also have something that he may offer.

For certainly if he were on earth, he would not even be a priest, there being the priests who offer the gifts according to the law,

But into the second part, the high priest alone, once a year, not without blood, which he offers for himself and for the unintentional sins of the people,

But Christ, having arrived a high priest of the good things that are coming, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation,

And not so that he might offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the Holy things each year with blood by another,

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

and a great priest over the house of God,

For of the beasts whose blood is brought into the holy things for sin by the high priest, the bodies of these are burned outside the camp.
