There is a pattern running through the Gospels that most readers step right over. Every time an unclean spirit comes face to face with Yahshua, it identifies him instantly, correctly, and out loud. Son of the most high Elohim. The Holy One of Elohim. Messiah the Son of Elohim. Not once in the entire record does a demon get his identity wrong.
