Hebrews 8:1-3

The High Priest of a Better Covenant

8:1 Now the main point of what we are saying is this: ¹  We have such a high priest, one who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, ²  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.

[8:1]  ¹ tn Grk “the main point of the things being said.”
