# teaching in their synagogues

"teaching in the synagogues of the Galileans" or "teaching in the synagogues of those people"

# preaching the good news of the kingdom

Here "kingdom" refers to God's reign as king. AT: "preaching the good news that God will show himself as king" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])

# every kind of disease and sickness

The words "disease" and "sickness" are closely related but should be translated as two different words if possible. "Disease" is what causes a person to be sick.

# sickness

is the physical weakness or affliction that results from having a disease.
