Ephesians 4:8-10

Common English Bible

⁸ That’s why scripture says, When he climbed up to the heights, he captured prisoners, and he gave gifts to people.^[a]

⁹ What does the phrase “he climbed up” mean if it doesn’t mean that he had first gone down into the lower regions, the earth? ¹⁰ The one who went down is the same one who climbed up above all the heavens so that he might fill everything.
