Hebrews 2:17
2:17 Therefore he had
to be made like his brothers and sisters
in every respect, so that he could become a merciful and faithful high priest in things relating to God, to make atonement
for the sins of the people.
Hebrews 4:14-15
Jesus Our Compassionate High Priest
4:14 Therefore since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession.
4:15 For we do not have a high priest incapable of sympathizing with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in every way just as we are, yet without sin.
Hebrews 5:1-10
5:1 For every high priest is taken from among the people and appointed to represent them before God, to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.
5:2 He is able to deal compassionately with those who are ignorant and erring, since he also is subject to weakness,
5:3 and for this reason he is obligated to make sin offerings for himself as well as for the people.
5:4 And no one assumes this honor on his own initiative, but only when called to it by God, as in fact Aaron was.
5:5 So also Christ did not glorify himself in becoming high priest, but the one who glorified him was God, who said to him, “You are my Son! Today I have fathered you,”
5:6 as also in another place God says, “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”
5:7 During his earthly life Christ offered both requests and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death and he was heard because of his devotion.
5:8 Although he was a son, he learned obedience through the things he suffered.
5:9 And by being perfected in this way, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him,
5:10 and he was designated by God as high priest in the order of Melchizedek.
Hebrews 6:20
6:20 where Jesus our forerunner entered on our behalf, since he became
a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.
Hebrews 7:26
7:26 For it is indeed fitting for us to have such a high priest: holy, innocent, undefiled, separate from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.
Hebrews 8:1-3
The High Priest of a Better Covenant
8:1 Now the main point of what we are saying is this: We have such a high priest, one who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,
8:2 a minister in the sanctuary and the true tabernacle that the Lord, not man, set up.
8:3 For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. So this one too had to have something to offer.
Hebrews 9:11
Christ’s Service in the Heavenly Sanctuary
9:11 But now Christ has come as the high priest of the good things to come. He passed through the greater and more perfect tent not made with hands, that is, not of this creation,
Hebrews 10:21
10:21 and since we have a great priest
over the house of God,
Psalms 110:4
110:4 The Lord makes this promise on oath and will not revoke it:
“You are an eternal priest after the pattern of Melchizedek.”
