This suggestions was made by the Pharisees (Matthew 12:24).
To show the power of Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ of Nazareth. The power of the Holy Spirit is was shown by the miracles that He performed.
As do the vast majority of other Christians, Protestants, like Catholics, believe that the miracles are signs (as stated in John's gospel) pointing to the divinity of Jesus Christ. Most protestants take the miracles literally as they remind us of the power of God at work in this world. Protestants also believe in miracles happening throughout history and today. However, unlike Catholics they do not revere anyone as saints because a miracle (or miracles) happened after prayer to that saint. Protestants believe that miracles can only be performed in the power and name of Jesus Christ and not by praying to a dead saint.
The accusation that Jesus was associated with Beelzebub, often interpreted as a reference to the devil, came from the Pharisees.

This accusation was part of a broader attempt to discredit Jesus and challenge his authority and divinity.

Beelzebub serves as a foil to Satan by embodying a more subservient and manipulative role within the hierarchy of evil. While Satan represents pride, ambition, and the desire for power, Beelzebub often takes on the role of the cunning enforcer, executing Satan's will and managing the chaos of Hell. This contrast highlights Satan's overarching ambition and authority, while Beelzebub's character emphasizes the darker aspects of loyalty and deceit within their shared malevolence. Together, they illustrate different facets of evil, with Beelzebub accentuating Satan's dominant traits.

The nature of miracles of Jesus showed that Jesus had sovereign power over the nature forces.
Theologically, "incarnation" is the teaching that a divine person of the Trinity assumed human form in the person of Jesus Christ and was completely both man and God. The power to do miracles came through the divine portion of His dual nature. The adjective, "incarnate," literally means "in a body," or "given a bodily form."
Any Christian who has read the Bible would be considered a heretic if they did not believe in miracles. The New Testament is full of miracles. To deny miracles is to deny the supreme power of God.
Most certainly. His miracles were a sign of His power over life and death, but they were not required to proove who He was. His miracles were done out of compassion and of necessity, like the loaves and the fishes.
To prove that he was not an ordinary man, that God gave him power.
