all the cities

The word "all" is an exaggeration to emphasize how very many cities Jesus went to. He did not necessarily go to every one of them. AT: "many of the cities" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hyperbole)

cities ... villages

"large villages ... small villages" or "large towns ... small towns"

the gospel of the kingdom

Here "kingdom" refers to God's rule as king. See how you translated this in Matthew 4:23.

all kinds of disease and all kinds of sickness

"every disease and every 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.

They were like sheep without a shepherd

This simile means they did not have a leader to take care of them. AT: "The people did not have a leader" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile)
