Thanks for the clear instructions. I won’t change your formatting. Here is a step‑by‑step accuracy check against the World English Bible (WEB), followed by brief, ecumenically acceptable suggestions.

What needs correction in the verse text (WEB):
– Matthew 9:5 – Punctuation: in the WEB the question mark follows the closing quote, like this: ‘Get up, and walk’?, not “Get up, and walk?”. ([ebible.org](https://ebible.org/eng-web/MAT09.htm))
– Matthew 9:9 – Wording: the WEB reads “a man called Matthew,” not “a man named Matthew.” ([ebible.org](https://ebible.org/eng-web/MAT09.htm))
– Matthew 9:17 – Spelling: the WEB uses “wineskins” (one word) twice, not “wine skins.” ([ebible.org](https://ebible.org/eng-web/MAT09.htm))
– Matthew 9:20–21 – Verse break/content: in the WEB, v.20 includes “came behind him, and touched the fringe of his garment;” and v.21 begins “for she said within herself…”. In your text, part of v.20 has been moved into v.21, so v.20 is incomplete and v.21 starts too early. ([ebible.org](https://ebible.org/eng-web/MAT09.htm))
– Matthew 9:30 – Minor detail: the WEB begins, “Then their eyes were opened.” Your text omits “Then.” ([ebible.org](https://ebible.org/eng-web/MAT09.htm))

Everything else in your quoted verses matches the WEB accurately, including “to repentance” in v.13, which the WEB includes (with a note that some manuscripts omit it). ([ebible.org](https://ebible.org/eng-web/MAT09.htm))

Assessment of the summaries:
– Your one‑sentence overview and the section bullets are sound, balanced, and suitable for Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox readers. They accurately capture Jesus’ authority to forgive and heal, His call of Matthew, teaching on fasting, compassionate ministry, and the call to pray for laborers. No doctrinally sensitive wording issues noted.

Optional ways to improve an already good summary (keep your formatting if you like; these are just ideas):
– Note the faith theme that runs through the chapter (friends of the paralytic, the bleeding woman, and the blind men), which Matthew highlights. ([ebible.org](https://ebible.org/eng-web/MAT09.htm))
– Mention the christological titles used: “Son of Man” (v.6) and “Son of David” (v.27), which underline His authority and messianic identity. ([ebible.org](https://ebible.org/eng-web/MAT09.htm))
– In the fasting section, you could explicitly say that Jesus’ images (bridegroom, cloth, wineskins) point to the newness of His ministry rather than merely a tweak to existing practices. ([ebible.org](https://ebible.org/eng-web/MAT09.htm))
– In the closing section (vv.35–38), you might add that Jesus instructs prayer to “the Lord of the harvest,” emphasizing God’s initiative in sending workers. ([ebible.org](https://ebible.org/eng-web/MAT09.htm))
