Hebrews 8:1-4 English Standard Version (ESV)

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

2. a minister in the holy places, in the true tent that the Lord set up, not man.

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

4. Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, since there are priests who offer gifts according to the law.
