Therefore in all things he had to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;

Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

For we have not a high priest who cannot be touched with the feeling of our weaknesses; but was in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin.

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

So also Christ glorified not himself to be made a high priest; but he that said unto him, You are my Son, today have I begotten you.

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

Called of God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.

Where the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who 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 unto the Son of God; abides a priest continually.

If therefore 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 yet far more evident: that after the similitude of Melchizedek there arises another priest,

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

And since it was not without an oath he was made priest:

(For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord swore and will not change, you are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek:)

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

Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such a high priest, who sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;

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

For if he were on earth, he would not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:

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

But Christ being come 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, as the high priest enters into the holy place every year with blood of others;

And every priest stands daily ministering and offering frequently 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 sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned outside the camp.
