²⁶For it was indeed fitting that we should have such a high priest, ⁿholy, innocent, unstained, ^oseparated from sinners, and ^pexalted above the heavens. ²⁷He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, ^qfirst for his own sins and then for those of the people, since he did this ^ronce for all when he offered up himself. ²⁸For the law appoints men ^sin their weakness as high priests, but the word of the oath, which came later than the law, appoints a Son who has been made ^tperfect forever.

Jesus, High Priest of a Better Covenant

8Now the point in what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, ^uone who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, ²a minister in the holy places, in ^vthe true tent¹ that the Lord ^wset up, not man.
