High

And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for Him,

…because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the Dawn will visit us from on high,

…during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness.

Then the devil led Him up to a high place and showed Him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world.

After Jesus had left the synagogue, He went to the home of Simon, whose mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever. So they appealed to Jesus on her behalf,

But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.

When the man saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before Him, shouting in a loud voice, “What do You want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You not to torture me!”

And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.

Then they seized Jesus, led Him away, and took Him into the house of the high priest. And Peter followed at a distance.

And behold, I am sending the promise of My Father upon you. But remain in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”

But one of them, named Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all!

Caiaphas did not say this on his own. Instead, as high priest that year, he was prophesying that Jesus would die for the nation,

Then Simon Peter drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.

They brought Him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year.

Now Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. Since that disciple was known to the high priest, he also went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest.

Now Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. Since that disciple was known to the high priest, he also went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest.

But Peter stood outside at the door. Then the disciple who was known to the high priest went out and spoke to the doorkeeper, and brought Peter in.

Meanwhile, the high priest questioned Jesus about His disciples and His teaching.

When Jesus had said this, one of the officers standing nearby slapped Him in the face and said, “Is this how You answer the high priest?”

Then Annas sent Him, still bound, to Caiaphas the high priest.

One of the high priest’s servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked, “Didn’t I see you with Him in the garden?”

It was the day of Preparation, and the next day was a High Sabbath. In order that the bodies would not remain on the cross during the Sabbath, the Jews asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies removed.

…along with Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and many others from the high priest’s family.

Then the high priest and all his associates, who belonged to the party of the Sadducees, were filled with jealousy. They went out

At daybreak the apostles entered the temple courts as they had been told and began to teach the people. When the high priest and his associates arrived, they convened the Sanhedrin—the full assembly of the elders of Israel—and sent to the jail for the apostles.

They brought them in and made them stand before the Sanhedrin, where the high priest interrogated them.

Then the high priest asked Stephen, “Are these charges true?”

However, the Most High does not dwell in houses made by human hands. As the prophet says:

Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the disciples of the Lord. He approached the high priest

This girl followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who are proclaiming to you the way of salvation!”

This became known to all the Jews and Greeks living in Ephesus, and fear came over all of them. So the name of the Lord Jesus was held in high honor.

…as the high priest and the whole Council can testify about me. I even obtained letters from them to their brothers in Damascus, and I was on my way to apprehend these people and bring them to Jerusalem to be punished.

“I paid a high price for my citizenship,” said the commander. “But I was born a citizen,” Paul replied.

At this, the high priest Ananias ordered those standing near Paul to strike him on the mouth.

But those standing nearby said, “How dare you insult the high priest of God!”

“Brothers,” Paul replied, “I was not aware that he was the high priest, for it is written: ‘Do not speak evil about the ruler of your people.’”

Five days later the high priest Ananias came down with some elders and a lawyer named Tertullus, who presented to the governor their case against Paul.

This is why it says: “When He ascended on high, He led captives away, and gave gifts to men.”

For those who have served well as deacons acquire for themselves a high standing and great confidence in the faith that is in Christ Jesus.

The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His nature, upholding all things by His powerful word. After He had provided purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.

For this reason He had to be made like His brothers in every way, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, in order to make atonement for the sins of the people.

Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, set your focus on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess.

Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we profess.

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who was tempted in every way that we are, yet was without sin.

Every high priest is appointed from among men to represent them in matters relating to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.

So also Christ did not take upon Himself the glory of becoming a high priest, but He was called by the One who said to Him: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.”

…and was designated by God as high priest in the order of Melchizedek.

…where Jesus our forerunner has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.

This Melchizedek was king of Salem and priest of God Most High. He met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,

Such a high priest truly befits us—One who is holy, innocent, undefiled, set apart from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.

Unlike the other high priests, He does not need to offer daily sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people; He sacrificed for sin once for all when He offered up Himself.

For the law appoints as high priests men who are weak; but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son, who has been made perfect forever.

The point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,

And since every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, it was necessary for this One also to have something to offer.

But only the high priest entered the second room, and then only once a year, and never without blood, which he offered for himself and for the sins the people had committed in ignorance.

But when Christ came as high priest of the good things that have come, He went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not made by hands and is not a part of this creation.

Nor did He enter heaven to offer Himself again and again, as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own.

Although the high priest brings the blood of animals into the Holy Place as a sacrifice for sin, the bodies are burned outside the camp.

The brother in humble circumstances should exult in his high position.

Treat everyone with high regard: Love the brotherhood of believers, fear God, honor the king.

And the winepress was trodden outside the city, and the blood that flowed from it rose as high as the bridles of the horses for a distance of 1,600 stadia.

And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the holy city of Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God,

The city had a great and high wall with twelve gates inscribed with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, and twelve angels at the gates.
