There is no roll of Priest in the NT church .. the positions given are elder , bishop ( overseer) and deacon

There is no priest in the NT church because the jewish priesthood was a type of Christ which He fulfilled on the cross..

First of all I think you mean role.

Secondly — The Gospels and the Letters of St. Paul cite ordinations/laying on of hands.

Strange Bible you have.

Christ breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit, who sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them, whose sins you shall retain they are retained.”

Sounds like the priesthood to me. The Twelve Apostles were the first Bishops and they passed the faith on to others through their actions.

Then what about Pentecost?
