A Two-Part Mission
Commentators explain that the disciples' mission had two inseparable parts: healing the sick and proclaiming the kingdom. The miracles of healing were not just acts of compassion; they served as powerful proof of their authority and validated their message that God's kingdom, and the Messiah himself, was truly near. This provides a model for witness that combines tangible acts of love with a clear verbal proclamation.
