“”There was no priests in the new church, it was about 300 AD before the first priesthood appeared.””

From Saint Clement of Rome’s first Epistle to Corinthians written sometime around 80 AD

Chapter 44. The Ordinances of the Apostles, that There Might Be No Contention Respecting the Priestly Office.
