Paul explains: “Every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices; wherefore it was necessary for this one [the ascended Jesus Christ] also to have something to offer. ” ​ — Hebrews 8: 3.
Paulus selgitab: „Iga ülempreester seatakse ohverdama ande ja ohvreid, mispärast on paratamata vajalik, et tal [taevasse läinud Jeesusel Kristusel] oleks... seda, mida ohverdada ”.
