Hebrews 5:1-3

1 Every high priest selected to represent men and women before God and offer sacrifices for their sins
2 should be able to deal gently with their failings, since he knows what it's like from his own experience.
3 But that also means that he has to offer sacrifices for his own sins as well as the people's.
