| 18: 13 | First they took him to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest (archiereus) that year. |
| 18: 15 | Simon Peter and another disciple followed Jesus. Since that disciple was known to the high priest (archiereus), he went with Jesus into the courtyard of the high priest (archiereus), |
| 18: 16 | but Peter was standing outside at the gate. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest (archiereus), went out, spoke to the woman who guarded the gate, and brought Peter in. |
| 18: 19 | Then the high priest (archiereus) questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching. |
| 18: 22 | When he had said this, one of the police standing nearby struck Jesus on the face, saying, "Is that how you answer the high priest (archiereus)?" |

Acts
| 4: 6 | with Annas the high priest (archiereus), Caiaphas, John, and Alexander, and all who were of the high-priestly family. |
| 4: 23 | After they were released, they went to their friends and reported what the high priests (archiereus) and the elders had said to them. |
| 5: 17 | Then the high priest (archiereus) took action; he and all who were with him (that is, the sect of the Sadducees), being filled with jealousy, |
| 5: 21 | When they heard this, they entered the temple at daybreak and went on with their teaching. When the high priest (archiereus) and those with him arrived, they called together the council and the whole body of the elders of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought. |
| 5: 24 | Now when the captain of the temple and the high priests (archiereus) heard these words, they were perplexed about them, wondering what might be going on. |
| 5: 27 | When they had brought them, they had them stand before the council. The high priest (archiereus) questioned them, |
| 7: 1 | Then the high priest (archiereus) asked him, "Are these things so?" |
| 9: 1 | Meanwhile Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest (archiereus) |
| 9: 14 | and here he has authority from the high priests (archiereus) to bind all who invoke your name." |
| 9: 21 | All who heard him were amazed and said, "Is not this the man who made havoc in Jerusalem among those who invoked this name? And has he not come here for the purpose of bringing them bound before the high priests (archiereus)?" |
| 19: 14 | Seven sons of a Jewish high priest (archiereus) named Sceva were doing this. |
| 22: 5 | as the high priest (archiereus) and the whole council of elders can testify about me. From them I also received letters to the brothers in Damascus, and I went there in order to bind those who were there and to bring them back to Jerusalem for punishment. |
| 22: 30 | Since he wanted to find out what Paul was being accused of by the Jews, the next day he released him and ordered the high priests (archiereus) and the entire council to meet. He brought Paul down and had him stand before them. |
| 23: 2 | Then the high priest (archiereus) Ananias ordered those standing near him to strike him on the mouth. |
| 23: 4 | Those standing nearby said, "Do you dare to insult God's high priest (archiereus)?" |
| 23: 5 | And Paul said, "I did not realize, brothers, that he was high priest (archiereus); for it is written, 'You shall not speak evil of a leader of your people.'" |
| 23: 14 | They went to the high priests (archiereus) and elders and said, "We have strictly bound ourselves by an oath to taste no food until we have killed Paul. |
| 24: 1 | Five days later the high priest (archiereus) Ananias came down with some elders and an attorney, a certain Tertullus, and they reported their case against Paul to the governor. |
| 25: 2 | where the high priests (archiereus) and the leaders of the Jews gave him a report against Paul. They appealed to him |
| 25: 15 | When I was in Jerusalem, the high priests (archiereus) and the elders of the Jews informed me about him and asked for a sentence against him. |
| 26: 10 | And that is what I did in Jerusalem; with authority received from the high priests (archiereus), I not only locked up many of the saints in prison, but I also cast my vote against them when they were being condemned to death. |
| 26: 12 | "With this in mind, I was traveling to Damascus with the authority and commission of the high priests (archiereus), |
Hebrews
| 2: 17 | Therefore he had to become like his brothers and sisters in every respect, so that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest (archiereus) in the service of God, to make a sacrifice of atonement for the sins of the people. |
| 3: 1 | Therefore, brothers and sisters, holy partners in a heavenly calling, consider that Jesus, the apostle and high priest (archiereus) of our confession, |
| 4: 14 | Since, then, we have a great high priest (archiereus) who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession. |
| 4: 15 | For we do not have a high priest (archiereus) who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who in every respect has been tested as we are, yet without sin. |
| 5: 1 | Every high priest (archiereus) chosen from among mortals is put in charge of things pertaining to God on their behalf, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. |
| 5: 5 | So also Christ did not glorify himself in becoming a high priest (archiereus), but was appointed by the one who said to him, "You are my Son, today I have begotten you"; |
| 5: 10 | having been designated by God a high priest (archiereus) according to the order of Melchizedek. |
| 6: 20 | where Jesus, a forerunner on our behalf, has entered, having become a high priest (archiereus) forever according to the order of Melchizedek. |
| 7: 26 | For it was fitting that we should have such a high priest (archiereus), holy, blameless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens. |
| 7: 27 | Unlike the other high priests (archiereus), he has no need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for those of the people; this he did once for all when he offered himself. |
| 7: 28 | For the law appoints as high priests (archiereus) those who are subject to weakness, but the word of the oath, which came later than the law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect forever. |
| 8: 1 | Now the main point in what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest (archiereus), one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, |
| 8: 3 | For every high priest (archiereus) is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; hence it is necessary for this priest also to have something to offer. |
| 9: 7 | but only the high priest (archiereus) goes into the second, and he but once a year, and not without taking the blood that he offers for himself and for the sins committed unintentionally by the people. |
| 9: 11 | But when Christ came as a high priest (archiereus) of the good things that have come, then through the greater and perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation), |
| 9: 25 | Nor was it to offer himself again and again, as the high priest (archiereus) enters the Holy Place year after year with blood that is not his own; |
| 13: 11 | For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest (archiereus) as a sacrifice for sin are burned outside the camp. |
