Ephesians 4:8-12

8Therefore it says,

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

9( dIn saying, “He ascended,” what does it mean but that he had also descended into ethe lower regions, the earth?
Or  the lower parts of the earth?
10He who descended is the one who also gascended hfar above all the heavens, that he might ifill all things.) 11And jhe gave the kapostles, the prophets, the levangelists, the mshepherds
Or pastors
and teachers,
Or  the shepherd-teachers
12 pto equip the saints for the work of ministry, for qbuilding up rthe body of Christ,
