Summary/Abstract: This study attempts to present the superiority of the priestly ministry of Jesus Christ by emphasizing its continuity aspect. In this sense, all the weight of the meaning regarding the content of this ministry falls on accentuating the eternal aspect of it to “the altar” and the “true tabernacle” in the heaven as well as that of its uniqueness. In emphasizing this particularity, the emphasis is placed in particular on two actions, “taking His seat at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens” as leiturgos (8,1-2) and “Mediator of a better covenant” (8,6). The patristic interpretation of these texts occupies a special place in this study.
