Priesthood

There is obviously a priesthood, both a Levitical and Melchizedekian priesthood, in the Old Testament, but what about the New Testament?

Did Jesus establish a priesthood in the Gospels, and if so where?

Many times people will rightly point to the Last Supper as to where Jesus established his New Covenant priesthood to guide his new Covenant Kingdom. However, was that the only place we see his actions indicating that a new priesthood is being established?

Listen to Dr. Pitre explain how the priesthood Jesus inaugurated is made clear through the very sets of disciples he created around himself, which any first century Jew would have picked up on.
