'Chief' in the Bible

Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider the apostle and chief priest of our profession, Christ Jesus,

Having, then, a great chief priest passed through the heavens -- Jesus the Son of God -- may we hold fast the profession,

for we have not a chief priest unable to sympathise with our infirmities, but one tempted in all things in like manner -- apart from sin;

For every chief priest -- out of men taken -- in behalf of men is set in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins,

so also the Christ did not glorify himself to become chief priest, but He who spake unto him: 'My Son thou art, I to-day have begotten thee;'

having been addressed by God a chief priest, according to the order of Melchisedek,

whither a forerunner for us did enter -- Jesus, after the order of Melchisedek chief priest having become -- to the age.

Now consider how great this man was, unto whom Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth out of the chief spoils.

For such a chief priest did become us -- kind, harmless, undefiled, separate from the sinners, and become higher than the heavens,

who hath no necessity daily, as the chief priests, first for his own sins to offer up sacrifice, then for those of the people; for this he did once, having offered up himself;

for the law doth appoint men chief priests, having infirmity, but the word of the oath that is after the law appointeth the Son -- to the age having been perfected.

And the sum concerning the things spoken of is: we have such a chief priest, who did sit down at the right hand of the throne of the greatness in the heavens,

for every chief priest to offer both gifts and sacrifices is appointed, whence it is necessary for this one to have also something that he may offer;

and into the second, once in the year, only the chief priest, not apart from blood, which he doth offer for himself and the errors of the people,

And Christ being come, chief priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands -- that is, not of this creation --

nor that he may many times offer himself, even as the chief priest doth enter into the holy places every year with blood of others;

for of those beasts whose blood is brought for sin into the holy places through the chief priest -- of these the bodies are burned without the camp.
