1 Peter 1:10-12
New Living Translation
10 This salvation was something even the prophets wanted to know more about when they prophesied about this gracious salvation prepared for you. 11 They wondered what time or situation the Spirit of Christ within them was talking about when he told them in advance about Christ’s suffering and his great glory afterward.
12 They were told that their messages were not for themselves, but for you. And now this Good News has been announced to you by those who preached in the power of the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. It is all so wonderful that even the angels are eagerly watching these things happen.

1 Peter 1:10-12
New English Translation
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.
