“And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.”
And he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick — the two-part mission: proclaim the kingdom and heal the sick. The proclamation and the healing are inseparable in Luke's presentation — the announcement of the kingdom's arrival is always accompanied by its visible demonstration. The kingdom Jesus announces is not merely a verbal reality but an enacted presence.
