Ephesians 4:8-12

⁸This is why it says:

“When He ascended on high,

He led captives away,

and gave gifts to men.”

⁹What does “He ascended” mean, except that He also descended to the lower parts of the earth?

¹⁰He who descended is the very One who ascended above all the heavens, in order to fill all things.

¹¹And it was He who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers,

¹²to equip the saints for works of ministry and to build up the body of Christ,
