If one wants to know what the New Testament says, it helps to pay attention to the language it was written in. If the writers of the New Testament believed there was a priestly office for someone in the church, apart from Jesus as High Priest, they would have said so.

Instead, they used different words.

This certainly suggests they saw no priestly role for an officer in the church.

Since the English word priest, despite the desire of some, means both presbuteros and hiereus your statement is misleading. Given its original and ongoing meaning as a presbyter, there is a priestly office in the church inasmuch as there is a presbyteral office.

Didn’t they when the Bible talks of presbyters?

Currently, every diocese has a presbyteral council — all the priests.
