If you are talking about miracles in the biblical sense, then Peter performed no miracles. The fact is: no apostle or human being has ever performed, or can everperform a miracle. Miracles can be performed throughhuman beings but miracles cannot be performed byhuman beings. All such biblical type miracles which have been performed in the past - and which are performed in the present - through human beings derive from spirit (or God as Christians prefer) and from the power which derives from the spirit. It is the Father (or spirit) working through the human being that doeth the work of creating the miracle or spiritual phenomenon.

A:

By his own account, Paul did not perform any miracles, but remember that he was writing to people who actually knew him and he could not risk his credibility by writing to them about miracles and wonders if they never really happened, since he could be challenged to substantiate any events he described.

However, after a safe interval of several decades, the author of Acts attributes previously unknown miracles to Paul. If Acts attributed a previously unknown miracle to Paul, then his followers or admirers were unlikely to complain, but quite comparable miracles are also associated with Peter, and the miracles associated with Paul are always less impressive those associated with Peter. There is likely to have been a theological purpose to the revisions made by the author of Acts, and the less credulous student of The Bible will be unlikely to believe Paul performed any miracles.

What miracles did Peter witness Jesus perform?

There are too many miracles that Peter and the other disciples witnessed to be listed here. We can not even count the number as we are told in the Gospels that Jesus traveled around to the towns and synagogues preaching and working wonders (miracles). Peter and the other disciples traveled with Jesus so you can be sure that they saw very many wondrous things done by Jesus. If you really care how many miracles are listed i suggest you read the Gospels in the New Testament.

How was saint peter like Jesus?

A:Acording to Acts of the Apostles, Peter could perform the same miracles as Jesus had done, even raising Tabitha from the dead. Just as Jesus could perform involuntary miracles, such as when the woman with the issue of blood touched his hem and was cured, so also people brought the sick just in the hope that Peter's shadow would pass over them and they would be cured.One view of Acts would be that it is an extreme form of hagiography in the way it portrays the apostles, especially Peter and Paul, as being able to perform miracles at will. New Testament scholars say that Acts of the Apostles is a book of miracles rather than of history. Uta Ranke-Heinemann (Putting Away Childish Things) goes as far as to say that the whole of Acts is a simply a work of Propaganda. On this view, Saint Peter did not perform any miracles at all. This brings Peter back to the ranks of ordinary humans, unlike Jesus in the gospels.
