Step-by-step check against the World English Bible (WEB) at ebible.org
– Verse text accuracy:
– Matthew 1:1–5 and 7–5, 8–17; 18–25 in your excerpt match the WEB wording on ebible.org. Names, spellings (e.g., Jechoniah, Shealtiel, Zerubbabel), the Isaiah citation and gloss in v.23 (“which is, being interpreted, ‘God with us.’”), and the phrasing in v.25 (“didn’t know her sexually” and “firstborn son”) are all accurate. ([ebible.org](https://ebible.org/engwebp/MAT01.htm))
– One needed correction in v.6: after “Jesse became the father of King David,” the next clause in the WEB reads “David the king became the father of Solomon by her who had been Uriah’s wife.” Your text currently has “David became the father…,” omitting “the king.” The WEB includes “the king” here (with a note that some manuscripts/editions omit it), so if you want the WEB text exactly, add “the king.” ([ebible.org](https://ebible.org/engwebp/MAT01.htm))
– Summary statements:
– Your summaries are sound, faithful to the passage, and use wording acceptable across Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox traditions. No changes are required.
Optional ways to improve (if you want to enhance the overview without changing its theological balance)
– In the genealogy summary, note that Matthew highlights several women—Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, and “her who had been Uriah’s wife”—which many readers see as significant in salvation history. ([ebible.org](https://ebible.org/engwebp/MAT01.htm))
– Clarify that the genealogy traces Jesus’ legal line through Joseph, emphasizing Jesus’ Davidic lineage while also affirming the virginal conception by the Holy Spirit. ([ebible.org](https://ebible.org/engwebp/MAT01.htm))
– In the birth narrative summary, you could add that Matthew explicitly connects the event to Isaiah 7:14 and that “Jesus” is named “for it is he who shall save his people from their sins.” If desired, you may note briefly that “Jesus” is commonly understood as “Yahweh is salvation,” while keeping Matthew’s own explanation central. ([ebible.org](https://ebible.org/engwebp/MAT01.htm))
If you’d like, I can supply the exact WEB wording for any verse you plan to adjust, but the only necessary fix for a perfect WEB match is adding “the king” in Matthew 1:6. ([ebible.org](https://ebible.org/engwebp/MAT01.htm))
