Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus,

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

For we have not a high priest not able to sympathise with our infirmities, but tempted in all things in like manner, sin apart.

For every high priest taken from amongst men is established for men in things relating to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins;

addressed by God as high priest according to the order of Melchisedec.

where Jesus is entered as forerunner for us, become for ever a high priest according to the order of Melchisedec.

For this Melchisedec, King of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from smiting the kings, and blessed him;

without father, without mother, without genealogy; having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but assimilated to the Son of God, abides a priest continually.

If indeed then perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, for the people had their law given to them in connexion with it, what need was there still that a different priest should arise according to the order of Melchisedec, and not be named after the order of Aaron?

And it is yet more abundantly evident, since a different priest arises according to the similitude of Melchisedec,

For it is borne witness, Thou art a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedec.

But Christ being come high priest of the good things to come, by the better and more perfect tabernacle not made with hand, (that is, not of this creation,)

nor in order that he should offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the holy places every year with blood not his own;

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

and having a great priest over the house of God,

for of those beasts whose blood is carried as sacrifices for sin into the holy of holies by the high priest, of these the bodies are burned outside the camp.
