Hebrews 3:1

Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, set your focus on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess.

2 He was faithful to the One who appointed Him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house.

3 For Jesus has been counted worthy of greater glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
