²⁶ Such a high priest^(A) truly meets our need—one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners,^(B) exalted above the heavens.^{(C) 27} Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices^(D) day after day, first for his own sins,^(E) and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all^(F) when he offered himself.^{(G) 28} For the law appoints as high priests men in all their weakness;^(H) but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son,^(I) who has been made perfect^(J) forever.

The High Priest of a New Covenant

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