confused on wiring a box of 3 switches

[snoman1]

I added some recessed lighting in my lower level.
3 rows of 4 lights. each row of lights is to run off a switch at the wall. I have power coming in from the breaker box so at the switch box is 4 wire lines coming in. How do I wire up the group of switches? obviously group the grounds but then do I group the 4 whites and feed each switch with a black not quite sure. also for the lights themselves I just did black to black, white to white, ground to ground. basically the same way you would run a line of outlets. does this sound right?
thanks.

Each black from the run of cable to the row of lights is one side of the switch. The power into the box will need 4 pigtails of black wire connected to it. One of each of these will provide power to the other screw on the switches.

All whites together and capped. All grounds together and attached to each switch.

Yes, the way you wired the lights is correct.

thanks,
it all makes sense other than you mention 4 pig tails... I'm assuming that means extend from the power line a longer piece of wire plus then from that 3 small feeds to the other screw on each switch. Or can I just connect the 3 pigtails off the black feed of power. Sorry if I sound confused. I just don't want to miss anything.
thanks again for your help!

I'm sure it was just a misread, you'll just need 3 pigtails, one for each switch.
