This Week’s Big Idea
Jesus is revealing who He is and calling people to follow Him.
As you read, watch for moments where people encounter Jesus and must decide how they will respond.
NT260 Set 4 Study Resources
Companion study notes, commentary, and next-step resources for this NT260 set of readings.
These notes correspond with Set 4 readings in NT260. First, use MTSM’s Pray, Read, Ask, and Pray method to study the passage devotionally. After you finish use these notes to deepen your understanding if you’d like.
This set helps you begin the journey through the New Testament by focusing on the person of Jesus Christ and the opening movement of the gospel story. As you read, pay attention to who Jesus is, what He came to do, and how each passage calls for a response of faith and discipleship.

Which Commentary Should I Use?
MTSM commentaries are designed to grow with you. Whether this is your first time reading through Scripture or you are leading others through it, choose the level that best matches your current season of study.
Foundations Commentary
Best for first-time study, personal Bible reading, journaling, and anyone who wants a simple, clear explanation of the passage.
If you are new to Bible study or working through this journal for the first time, start here.
Leader Commentary
Best if you have some Bible study experience, want to apply the passage more deeply, are going through the journal again, or are helping others understand and apply Scripture.
Ideal for small group leaders, disciplers, teachers, and anyone ready to move beyond basic understanding.
Deep Roots Commentary
Best if you have already worked through the journal, have led or started a group, teach others regularly, or simply want to go deeper into theology, biblical background, apologetics, and difficult questions.
Designed for serious students of Scripture who want to explore the deeper roots behind the text.
Start with Foundations Commentary.
If a passage raises questions or you want to go deeper, move to Leader or Deep Roots.
You do not need to read every commentary level to benefit from NT260.
