Hebrews 8:3 in Context — Hebrews 8

1 ASÍ que, la suma acerca de lo dicho [es]: Tenemos tal pontífice que se asentó á la diestra del trono de la Majestad en los cielos;

2 Ministro del santuario, y de aquel verdadero tabernáculo que el Señor asentó, y no hombre.

3 Porque todo pontífice es puesto para ofrecer presentes y sacrificios; por lo cual es necesario que también éste tuviese algo que ofrecer.

4 Así que, si estuviese sobre la tierra, ni aun sería sacerdote, habiendo aún los sacerdotes que ofrecen los presentes según la ley;

5 Los cuales sirven de bosquejo y sombra de las cosas celestiales, como fué respondido á Moisés cuando había de acabar el tabernáculo: Mira, dice, haz todas las cosas conforme al dechado que te ha sido mostrado en el monte.
