Bible verse
Now, however, Jesus has received a much more excellent ministry, just as the covenant He mediates is better and is founded on better promises.
Hebrews 8:6 · BSB
The verses around it, from Hebrews 8.
2 and who ministers in the sanctuary and true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by man.
3 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.
4 Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are already priests who offer gifts according to the law.
5 The place where they serve is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”
6 Now, however, Jesus has received a much more excellent ministry, just as the covenant He mediates is better and is founded on better promises.
7 For if that first covenant had been without fault, no place would have been sought for a second.
8 But God found fault with the people and said: “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.
9 It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, because they did not abide by My covenant, and I disregarded them, declares the Lord.
10 For this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their minds and inscribe them on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they will be My people.
