Wherefore in all things it was necessary to be made like to the brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful chief priest in things towards God, in order to propitiate for the sin of the people.

Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, observe the sent and Chief Priest of our assent, Christ Jesus;

Having therefore a great chief priest, passed to the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, we should hold firmly the assent.

For we have not a chief priest unable to suffer with our weaknesses; but tried in all things as a resemblance, without sin.

For every chief priest taken from men is appointed for men for things to God, that he bring both gifts and sacrifices for sins:

So also Christ honoured not himself, to become chief priest; but he having spoken to him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.

And also in another he says, Thou a priest forever according to the order of Melchisedec.

Addressed by God the chief priest according to the order of Melchisedec.

Where the forerunner, Jesus, went in for us, according to the order of Melchisedec, being a high priest forever.

For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, having met Abraham returning from the cutting off of the kings, and praised him;

Without father, without mother, of unknown origin, neither having beginning of days, nor end of life; and likened to the Son of God;) remains a priest perpetually.

And they truly of the sons of Levi, receiving the office of priest, have a command to take a tenth part from the people according to the law, that is, from their brethren, although having come out of the loins of Abraham:

If truly therefore completion were by the Levitical priesthood, (for the people received legislation by it,) what further need according to the order of Melchisedec for another priest to be raised, and not according to the order of Aaron?

And it is yet more abundantly manifest: that according to the resemblance of Melchisedec has another priest risen,

For he testifies, Thou a priest forever, according to the order of Melchisedec.

(For they truly without sacrifice sanctioned by solemn oath became priests; but he with the sacrifice sanctioned by solemn oath by him, saying to him, The Lord sware, and will not repent, Thou priest forever, according to the order of Melchisedec:)

For such a chief priest became us, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and being higher than the heavens;

And the summary to the things spoken: We have such a chief priest, who sat on the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;

For every chief priest is appointed to bring in gifts and sacrifices also: wherefore it is necessary also for this to have something which he might bring.

For if truly he were upon earth, he would not be a priest, there being priests bringing in gifts according to the law;

And into the second the chief priest alone once a year, not without blood, which he brings near for himself, and the errors of the people:

And Christ being present, a chief priest of good things about to be, by a greater and more perfect tent, not made with hands, that is; not of this creation;

Neither that he should offer himself many times, as the chief priest comes in to the holy places yearly with blood pertaining to others;

And truly every priest has stood daily, serving and bringing in many times the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:

And a great priest over the house of God;

for of whom the blood of the living ones is brought for sin into the holies by the chief priest, the bodies of these are burned without the camp.
