Hebrews 3:2
1 Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, set your focus on Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess.
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.
4 And every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
