Luke 9:1-2
1 Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases. 2 He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.
Jesus sent His followers with the authority and power of God to tell others of His kingdom ("repent, for the kingdom is at hand," parables, beatitudes, and other teaching of Jesus) and to heal sick people. This showed that they came in His name by doing what only He could do, and so they did. They told of the good news by repentance and faith (though not the full story since Jesus did not die and rise yet) and proved it by making people well physically also.
