Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ephesians 4:10

_ _ all heavensGreek, “all the heavens” (Hebrews 7:26; Hebrews 4:14), Greek, “passed through the heavens” to the throne of God itself.

_ _ might fill — In Greek, the action is continued to the present time, both “might” and “may fill,” namely, with His divine presence and Spirit, not with His glorified body. “Christ, as God, is present everywhere; as glorified man, He can be present anywhere” [Ellicott].

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ephesians 4:2-16.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Ephesians 4:10

He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might (i) fill (k) all things.)

(i) Fill with his gifts.

(k) The Church.
