Hebrews 8:1-4 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

1. Now the main point of what is being said is this: We have this kind of high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,

2. a minister of the sanctuary and the true tabernacle that was set up by the Lord and not man.

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

4. Now if He were on earth, He wouldn’t be a priest, since there are those offering the gifts prescribed by the law.
