Hebrews 2:18 · BSB
The verses around it, from Hebrews 2.
14 Now since the children have flesh and blood, He too shared in their humanity, so that by His death He might destroy him who holds the power of death, that is, the devil,
15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.
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.
