Jesus, High Priest of a Better Covenant

1Now the point in what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, aone who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, 2a minister in the holy places, in bthe true tent ▼
▼Or tabernacle; also verse 5
 that the Lord dset up, not man. 3For eevery high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; thus fit is necessary for this priest also to have something to offer. 4Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, since there are priests who offer gifts according to the law. 5They serve ga copy and hshadow of the heavenly things. For when Moses was about to erect the tent, he was instructed by God, saying, i“See that you make everything according to the pattern that was shown you on the mountain.” 6But as it is, Christ ▼
▼Greek he
 has obtained a ministry that is kas much more excellent than the old as lthe covenant mhe mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises.
