Matthew 12:22 Then they brought him a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute, and Jesus healed him, so that he could both talk and see.

The Man

We see  Jesus healing and removing a demon from a person that was both blind and mute

The reason for his condition appears to have been oppression by a demon. Demons, as shown in the New Testament, can sometimes cause disabilities in their victims.

Jesus immediately solves the man's problem by healing him, likely by casting the demon out. Suddenly the man can see and speak.

The crowds

Following this healing the crowd is amazed and impressed.

Satan has a way of making every life miserable he comes into contact with. In mercy, Jesus heals.

The viewers of the miraculous were overwhelmed – quite literally beside themselves with amazement and wonder. They knew healings like this had to be the handiwork of God.

the crowds began to question: "Could this be the Son of David?"

Reaction

This will lead to something more than a denial of a miracle. Rather than expressing doubt that this was a supernatural event, the Pharisees will accept that it's miraculous. However, they are so hardened against God that they'll insist the power comes from Satan (Matthew 12:24)

Jesus took the Pharisees nonsensical accusations and showed them for the foolishness that they truly were.

Proverbs 3:30 Do not accuse a man for no reason--when he has done you no harm

Do you need deliverance?

Jesus makes the obvious point that kingdoms cannot stand which are divided against themselves. The common end to divisions is desolation. If you need deliverance make up your mind about Christ!

There is no greater power that can heal completely but Jesus. Seek the Father’s Will for your life, embrace the Holy Spirit and become a child of God.

John 8:36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
