‏ Ephesians 4:10

Is the same also ( αυτος εστιν ). Rather, "the one who came down ( ο καταβας, the Incarnation) is himself also the one who ascended ( ο αναβας, the Ascension)."

Far above ( υπερανω ). See 1:21.

All the heavens ( παντων των ουρανων ). Ablative case after υπερανω. For the plural used of Christ's ascent see Heb 4:14; 7:27. Whether Paul has in mind the Jewish notion of a graded heaven like the third heaven in 2Co 12:2 or the seven heavens idea one does not know.

That he might fill all things ( ινα πληρωση τα παντα ). This purpose we can understand, the supremacy of Christ (Col 2:9f.).
