• But seek diligently and search out as they did, no small difficulty remained, even for those who pondered the wonderful words of Isa. 49:1,4-9, 52:13-15, and 53, the most detailed and luminous of all: the sufferings which awaited Messiah, and the glory of His people Israel. (“1 Peter 1:11” by W. Kelly)
• The same principle might readily be shown in the history of Joseph, suffering in the pit at the hand of his brethren, and then both sold to Gentiles and consigned, if not to death, to the Gentile prison, but exalted—to rule the world, administering its power with the same wisdom that had been manifested in previous humiliation, to the glory of Him who sat on the throne. We at least are inexcusable if we cannot clearly discern what prophets may have duly searched. (“1 Peter 1:11” by W. Kelly)
• Christ was accordingly the Speaker by His Spirit even in Old Testament days. (“1 Peter 1” by F.B. Hole)
• The “Spirit of Christ” was “in” the Old Testament prophets at the time of their writing, and this made them vehicles of His operations. He gave them feelings and experiences which were, in reality, a reproduction of Christ’s feelings. That is, feelings which would be fully and perfectly found in Christ when He became a Man and walked on earth. (“New Christian Blessings” by B. Anstey)

WK Translation Notes

a
It is hard to convey some little intimation of the phrase, which the marginal word "unto" of the RV scarcely meets, "the sufferings [that came] unto Christ," or "of Christ" as in the KJV and RV.
