'High priest' in the Bible

Therefore, He had to be like His brothers in every way, so that He could become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

Therefore, holy brothers and companions in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession;

Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens—Jesus the Son of God—let us hold fast to the confession.

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tested in every way as we are, yet without sin.

For every high priest taken from men is appointed in service to God for the people, to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.

In the same way, the Messiah did not exalt Himself to become a high priest, but the One who said to Him, You are My Son; today I have become Your Father,

and He was declared by God a high priest in the order of Melchizedek.

Jesus has entered there on our behalf as a forerunner, because He has become a high priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.

For this is the kind of high priest we need: holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.

Now the main point of what is being said is this: We have this kind of high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,

For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; therefore it was necessary for this priest also to have something to offer.

But the high priest alone enters the second room, and he does that only once a year, and never without blood, which he offers for himself and for the sins of the people committed in ignorance.

But the Messiah has appeared, high priest of the good things that have come. In the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands (that is, not of this creation),

He did not do this to offer Himself many times, as the high priest enters the sanctuary yearly with the blood of another.

and since we have a great high priest over the house of God,

For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the most holy place by the high priest as a sin offering are burned outside the camp.
