5: 21When 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: 24Now 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.

19: 14Seven sons of a Jewish high priest (archiereus) named Sceva were doing this.

Hebrews

2: 17Therefore 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: 1Therefore, brothers and sisters, holy partners in a heavenly calling, consider that Jesus, the apostle and high priest (archiereus) of our confession,
4: 14Since, 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: 15For 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: 1Every 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: 5So 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: 10having been designated by God a high priest (archiereus) according to the order of Melchizedek.
6: 20where Jesus, a forerunner on our behalf, has entered, having become a high priest (archiereus) forever according to the order of Melchizedek.
7: 26For it was fitting that we should have such a high priest (archiereus), holy, blameless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.
7: 27Unlike 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: 28For 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: 1Now 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: 3For 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: 7but 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: 11But 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: 25Nor 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: 11For 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.
