Hebrews 5:1

Every high priest is appointed from among men to represent them in matters relating to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.

2 He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and misguided, since he himself is beset by weakness.

3 That is why he is obligated to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people.

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