The purpose of annotating Bible verses is to help you s...l...o...w down and make some of your own observations about a passage.
These annotation skills may not come naturally at first. In fact, just looking at this page may overwhelm you. Or, perhaps you already have an annotation system down and have been using it for years.
Either way, we encourage you to stick with it.
What follows are a few simple ways you might consider marking up the passage. (You do not have to use all of these suggestions.)

First, grab some multi-colored pens and highlighters. (See our favs here.) Then, read through the entire passage. Now...
Do a few of these, all of these, or even more! Remember that the purpose is to get you to slow down and dig into Scripture yourself. This is an observational activity. You'll miss things, and that's okay! Over time, and with practice, annotating Bible verses will become second nature.

Bible commentaries are helpful tools that further explain and interpret Scripture for us. We recommend only going to commentaries after doing some digging yourself.
