This is not complete, but some of the strongest passages. I have also not included passages which are more about apostolic succession although those are closely tied.

The English word "priest" comes from the Greek word sometimes translated as presbyter. In the New Testament, the author would not want to use "priest" lest that be confused with the Levitical priesthood.

John 20:22 - Jesus transfers authority to the apostles

Matt 10:1 - Jesus gives authority and sends out the 12 apostles to preach and heal in his name

Matt 16:16-19 - Jesus chooses Peter to hold the keys to the kingdom

Luke 22:19 - Christ commands the apostles to "Do this in memory of me."

Matt 28:19-20, Luke 24:47-49 - Jesus sends the apostles to evangelize the world

John 21:15-17 - Jesus charges Peter with the task of tending Christ's flock

1 Cor 12:28, Eph 4:11 - The Church has many jobs, apostles, first…

1 Thess 5:12 - Respect those in the Church with authority over you

1 Tim 4:14 - Be true to your commission to the presbyterate (priesthood)

2 Tim 1:6-7 - Be fired up for your job as a presbyter

Titus 1:5 - Make presbyters in each community
