²⁶Such a high priestⁱ truly meets our need—one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners,^j exalted above the heavens.^k ²⁷Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices^l day after day, first for his own sins,^m and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for allⁿ when he offered himself.^o ²⁸For the law appoints as high priests men in all their weakness;^p but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son,^q who has been made perfect^r forever.

The High Priest of a New Covenant

8Now the main point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest,^s who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,^t ²and who serves in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle^u set up by the Lord, not by a mere human being.
