8Now this is the crowning point of what we are saying: We have a magnificent King-Priest who ministers for us at the right hand of God. He is enthroned with honor next to the throne of the Majesty on high. 2He serves in the holy sanctuary in the true heavenly tabernaclea set up by God, and not by men. 3Since every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, so the Messiah also had to bring some sacrifice. 4But since he didn’t qualify to be an earthly priest, and there are already priests who offer sacrificesb prescribed by the law, he offered in heaven a perfect sacrifice.
