Hebrews 8:1

The point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven,

2 and who ministers in the sanctuary and true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by man.

3 And since every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, it was necessary for this One also to have something to offer.

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