Christ as High Priest

The verse refers to Jesus as the "great shepherd of the sheep" and mentions the "blood of the everlasting covenant," but it does not explicitly use the terms "priest," "high priest," "mediate," "intercede," or "sacrifice" in relation to Jesus' role. The primary focus is on God bringing Jesus back from the dead and Jesus' role as a shepherd, not on his priestly functions.
