Hebrews 2:16–18 · Berean Standard Bible

16 For surely it is not the angels He helps, but the descendants of Abraham.

17 For this reason He had to be made like His brothers in every way, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, in order to make atonement for the sins of the people.

18 Because He Himself suffered when He was tempted, He is able to help those who are being tempted.
