Ephesians 4:9-10

Expanded Bible

⁹ When it says, “He ·went up [ascended],” what does it mean? ·It means [^L…except] that he first ·came down [descended] to the ·earth [or lower regions, namely the earth; or the depths of the earth; ^Cprobably refers to (1) the Incarnation, though possibly (2) Christ’s descent to Hades after his death (1 Pet. 3:19–20), or (3) Christ’s descent through the Spirit at Pentecost (Acts 2)]. ¹⁰ So the one who ·came down [descended] is the same one who ·went up [ascended] above all the heavens. ·Christ did that [^L…in order] to fill ·everything with his presence [^Lall things].
