Ephesians 4:7

5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism;

6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

Now to each one of us grace has been given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

8 This is why it says: “When He ascended on high, He led captives away, and gave gifts to men.”

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

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
