1 Peter 1
Bible in Basic English (BBE)
10 Ref For the prophets who gave the news of the grace which would come to you, made search with all care for knowledge of this salvation;
11 Ref Attempting to see what sort of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them was pointing to, when it gave witness to the pains which Christ would undergo and the glories which would come after them.
12 Ref And it was made clear to those prophets that they were God's servants not for themselves but for you, to give you word of the things which have now come to your ears from the preachers of the good news through the Holy Spirit sent down from heaven; things which even angels have a desire to see.
American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)
10 Ref Concerning which salvation the prophets sought and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that `should come' unto you:
11 Ref searching what `time' or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did point unto, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that should follow them.
12 Ref To whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto you, did they minister these things, which now have been announced unto you through them that preached the gospel unto you by the Holy Spirit sent forth from heaven; which things angel desire to look into.
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
