And Jesus said to him, See that you tell no man, but go and show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift which Moses commanded for a testimony to them.

Then the chief priest rent his clothes, saying, He has blasphemed; what further need have we of witnesses? Behold, now you have heard the blasphemy.

And when he was performing the priest's office in the order of his class before God, it fell to his lot,

under the chief priest Annas, and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John the son of Zachariah, in the wilderness.

And he charged him to tell no one, but go and show yourself to the priest, and present an offering for your purification, as Moses commanded, for a testimony to them.

And the chief priest said, Are these things then so?

Let no evil word proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good for useful edification, that it may afford benefit to those that hear.

But they shall proceed no further; for their foolishness shall become manifest to all, as theirs also was.

Whence he ought in all things to be assimilated to the brothers, that he may be a merciful and faithful chief priest as to things relating to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

HAVING therefore a great chief priest who has gone through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast the profession.

For we have not a chief priest who cannot sympathise with our infirmities, but one tried in all respects as we are, without sin.

For every chief priest taken from men is appointed in behalf of men over things relating to God, that he may offer gifts and sacrifices for sins,

So also Christ did not put on himself the honor of being made a chief priest, but he that said to him, Thou art my Son, to-day have I begotten thee;

as also in another place he says, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

being called by God a chief priest after the order of Melchisedec.

where our forerunner Jesus entered, made after the order of Melchisedec a chief priest forever.

For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham as he returned from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,

without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither a beginning of days nor end of life, but being made like the Son of God, continues a priest forever.

If therefore there was perfection through the Levitical priesthood,??or the people received the law under it,??hat need was there that another priest should arise after the order of Melchisedec and not to be called after the order of Aaron?

And moreover, [this] is still further evident, if another priest is raised up according to the likeness of Melchisedec,

who was not a priest after the law of an external commandment, but after the power of imperishable life.

For it is testified, Thou art a priest forever, after the order of Melchisedec.

but into the second once a year only the chief priest [enters], not without blood, which he offers for his errors and those of the people,

But Christ having come, a chief priest of the good times that were to come, with a greater and a more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation,

not that he may often present himself, as the chief priest enters into the sanctuary once a year with the blood of another [being];

And every priest stood daily performing service and presenting often the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins;

but this [priest] having offered one sacrifice forever for sins, sat down on the right hand of God,

and [having] a great priest over the house of God,

And I saw three impure spirits like frogs [proceed] from the mouth of the dragon and from the mouth of the beast and from the mouth of the false prophet;??14 for [these] are spirits of demons that perform miracles, that go to the kings of all the world, to assemble them for the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
