Hebrews 8:2-4
Easy-to-Read Version
Hebrews 8:2-4
Easy-to-Read Version
2 Our high priest serves in the Most Holy Place.[a] He serves in the true place of worship[b] that was made by God, not by anyone here on earth.
3 Every high priest has the work of offering gifts and sacrifices to God. So our high priest must also offer something to God. 4 If our high priest were now living on earth, he would not be a priest. I say this because there are already priests here who follow the law by offering gifts to God.

3 Every high priest(B) is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices,(C) and so it was necessary for this one also to have something to offer.(D) 4 If he were on earth, he would not be a priest, for there are already priests who offer the gifts prescribed by the law.(E)
