what type of demon was Jesus driving out? (Jesus and Beelzebul)
a demon that could not talk.
after Jesus drove the demon out, the man began to talk. What did people say about Jesus?
People said that it was Beelzebul, the chief of demons who gave Jesus the power to drive them out.
Otheres wanted to trap Jesus, so they asked Him to perform a miracle to show that God approved of Him. What did Jesus say when he knew what they were thinking? (Jesus and Beelzebul)
Jesus said that any country that divides itself into groups which fight each other will not last very long; a family divided against itself falls apart. So if Satan’s kingdom has groups fighting each other, how can it last? They said that He drives out demons because Beelzebul gives Him the power to do so. If this is how He drive them out, how do their followers drive them out? Then Jesus says that their own followers prove that they are wrong. It is rather by means of God’s power that Jesus drive out demons, and this proves that the Kingdom of God has already come to you.

When it is over, the person is in worse shape than he was at the beginning.

Narrate the parable of the lamp told by Jesus (Demand for a Miracle)
No one lights a lamp and then hides it under a bowl; instead puts it on the lampstand, so people may see the light as they come in. Your eyes are like a lamp for the body. When your eyes are healthy, your whole body is full of light; But when your eyes are no good, your whole body will be in darkness. Make certain that the light in you is not darkness.
If your whole body is full of light, with no part of it in darkness, it will be bright all over, as when a lamp shines on you with its brightness
