World English Bible
1 Corinthians 2:8
“which none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known it, they wouldn't have crucified the Lord of glory.”
Verse in context — 1 Corinthians 2
We speak wisdom, however, among those who are full grown; yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nothing.
But we speak God's wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom that has been hidden, which God foreordained before the worlds for our glory,
which none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known it, they wouldn't have crucified the Lord of glory.
But as it is written, "Things which an eye didn't see, and an ear didn't hear, which didn't enter into the heart of man, these God has prepared for those who love him.
But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
