Priest, deacon, and bishop.

Holy Orders in the Roman Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodox Churches, Oriental Orthodox Churches, and Assyrian Church of the East is a sacrament whereby men are ordained bishops, priests or deacons.

In the Anglican and Lutheran churches the three orders of bishop, priest and deacon are also bestowed through "orderings," which are similar to the above churches' sacrament, but which are specifically held by their own theologies to be non-sacramental rites, as these churches regard only baptism and Eucharist ("Lord's Supper") to be sacraments.

Other Protestant denominations have varied conceptions of these church offices, but none of them considers ordination a sacrament and some would not consider their ministries in terms of holy orders at all.

The word "order" (Latin ordo) designated an established civil body or corporation with a hierarchy, and ordinatio meant legal incorporation into an ordo. The word "holy" (sacer) refers to the Church. In context, therefore, a holy order is simply a group with a hierarchy that is set apart for ministry in the Church.

As far as I know Jesus was the role model which represents the Christian faith. Ignoring the literal aspects the fundemental thing is that the male needs to be chaste, poor and obediant.... to the creator.
