10 (A)Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who (B)prophesied of the (C)grace that would come to you, made careful searches and inquiries, 11 [a]inquiring to know what time or what kind of time (D)the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating as He was (E)predicting the sufferings of Christ and the glories [b]to follow. 12 It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, in these things which now have been declared to you through those who (F)proclaimed the gospel to you by (G)the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things into which (H)angels long to [c]look.

1 Peter 1:10-12
Common English Bible
10 The prophets, who long ago foretold the grace that you’ve received, searched and explored, inquiring carefully about this salvation. 11 They wondered what the Spirit of Christ within them was saying when he bore witness beforehand about the suffering that would happen to Christ and the glory that would follow. They wondered what sort of person or what sort of time they were speaking about. 12 It was revealed to them that in their search they were not serving themselves but you. These things, which even angels long to examine, have now been proclaimed to you by those who brought you the good news. They did this in the power of the Holy Spirit, who was sent from heaven.
