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.

Other than Judas and Peter who betrayed jesus?
Judas was the only one to betray Christ. As Judas was the keeper of the purse for the twelve he was always seeking ways to get more money. Remember the girl who anointed Christ's feet with expensive ointment. Judas complained that it could have been sold to help fill the purse. Christ chose Judas because He knew the mind of Judas. Now let us discuss Peter. He did not betray Christ, rather he betrayed himself for his lack of a testimony that Jesus was the Christ. We cannot blame Peter for this, he was still new to the teachings of Christ and was yet to have a strong testimony that Jesus was indeed the Christ. It was not until later that this testimony came to him. If you remember he and some of the apostles asked Christ why they could not heal the sick, Christ told them it was because of their lack of faith. Many of us are like Peter, the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.
