You have several typos – names not correctly capitalized, punctuation, etc.

Accurate and complete reflection of material read for assignment.
Explain how and why Matthew may have edited Mark’s Gospel. Use the following two sets of passages to support your claim.
According to course materials (Bible, textbook, digital materials linked below, etc.):
1. How and why would Matthew have edited Mark 6:45-52 contrasted with Matthew 14:22-23?
2. How and why would Matthew have edited Mark 9:2-10 contrasted with Matthew 17:1-13?

I would have liked to have seen you include more on the “why” from the sources; for example:
1) “Matthew adds several elements to the story and elaborates it … Matthew has taken a rather simple ‘nature miracle’ and turned into something like an allegory for the church of his day … Finally, Matthew changes the ending he gets from Mark so that the disciples perform the action he expects of members of his own church; not confusion and misunderstanding [as in Mark’s gospel], but worship of Jesus as Lord” (Martin, p. 106)
2) Mark – “For Mark, Jesus’ sonship is seen supremely in his obedience which leads to death; thus, the declaration of Jesus as Son of God her serves to reinforce 8:31 which has just been given.” (Barton & Muddiman p. 109)
Matthew – “The major theme of this ephiphany is Jesus’ status as the new Moses … Further, through the allusion of the voice to Isa 42:1, Jesus is made out to be the suffering servant of Isaiah.” (Barton & Muddiman p. 56)
Mark emphasizes secrecy and obedience while Matthew emphasizes fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies in Jesus the Messiah as the new church is established.
