1 Peter 1:10-12
New International Version
10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who spoke(A) of the grace that was to come to you,(B) searched intently and with the greatest care,(C) 11 trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ(D) in them was pointing when he predicted(E) the sufferings of the Messiah and the glories that would follow. 12 It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you,(F) when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached the gospel to you(G) by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven.(H) Even angels long to look into these things.

10 Concerning this salvation,[a] the prophets[b] who predicted the grace that would come to you[c] searched and investigated carefully. 11 They probed[d] into what person or time[e] the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating when he testified beforehand about the sufferings appointed for Christ[f] and his subsequent glory.[g] 12 They were shown[h] that they were serving not themselves but you, in regard to the things now announced to you through those who proclaimed the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things angels long to catch a glimpse of.
