Ephesians 4:10 in context

The verses around it, from Ephesians 4.

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

7 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?

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

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

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

13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, as we mature to the full measure of the stature of Christ.

14 Then we will no longer be infants, tossed about by the waves and carried around by every wind of teaching and by the clever cunning of men in their deceitful scheming.
