Hebrews 8:4-6

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁴ Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, since there are priests who offer gifts according to the law. ⁵ They offer worship in a sanctuary that is a sketch and shadow of the heavenly one; for Moses, when he was about to erect the tent,^[a] was warned, “See that you make everything according to the pattern that was shown you on the mountain.” ⁶ But Jesus^[b] has now obtained a more excellent ministry, and to that degree he is the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted through better promises.
