Ephesians 4:7-9

Tree of Life Version

⁷But to each one of us grace was given in keeping with the measure of Messiah’s gift. ⁸Therefore it says,

“When He went up on high,
He led captive a troop of captives
and gave gifts to his people.”^[a]

⁹Now what does “He went up” mean, except that He first went down to the lower regions of the earth?
