I suppose the Apostles were increasingly aware of the historical nature of their calling and work.Its easy to believe they shared at the least and inkling of the fantastic success to come of the Kingdom even while they realized their part was to form the base on which the roots could grow.
Being godly men of an extremely small set they must have lived in a state of constant amazement and profound humility, and a yearning we cant really share to ,again , see His face.

Pilgrim's quote answers directly; It just wanst their job.
