1 PETER 1:11 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.”
trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when he predicted the sufferings destined for Christ and the glories that would follow — the prophets searched for the 'time and season' (kairos, opportune moment; perioche, circumstances) of prophetic fulfillment, attempting to understand the Spirit of Christ (pneuma Christou) that animated them. The progression from suffering (pathēmata, sufferings) to subsequent glory (doxai, glories) establishes the pattern Christ embodies and that believers follow.
