The Holy Bible, English Standard Version

Ephesians 4:8-10
<< Ephesians 3 | Ephesians 4 | Ephesians 5 >>

Therefore it says,

“When he ascended on high he led a host of captives,
and he gave gifts to men.”

(In saying, “He ascended,” what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower regions, the earth? [1] 10 He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.)
