Paul himself referred to the signs and wonders which he had been given power to perform in 2 Corinthians and Romans 15, but he did not specify what they were. Luke recorded Paul's miracles:

Acts 13:6-11 - Paul blinds Elymas who was a false prophet.

Acts 14:8-10 - Paul heals a lame man in Lystra.

Acts 19:11-12 - Paul performed many miracles including healings and casting out demons.

Acts 20:9-12 - Paul raised Eutychus from the dead.

Acts 28:8-9 - Paul healed diseases

In his epistles, Paul never claimed to have performed any miracles, even though to have announce this would have assisted his missionary work enormously, especially when he faced many challenges to his authority. Of course, had he made any such claim himself, he might have been asked to provide evidence, or to have performed just one more deserving miracle.

After a safe interval of around fifty years, Acts of the Apostles claimed that Paul really had performed miracles, although each such miracle was matched by at least one even more awe-inspiring and worthy miracle performed by St. Peter. According to Acts, Paul's first miraculous cure was improbably similar to Peter's first cure. In both cases, a man who had been lame since birth was immediately cured by being commanded to stand and walk. Peter's first miracle cure was performed in the name of Jesus, at the Temple, where the faithful saw the healed beggar praising God, and was the opportunity for some outstanding proselytising. Paul's first cure was clumsy and without apparent purpose, given that Paul did not tell the man about Jesus and he was even mistaken for a pagan god.

Acts says that Paul also resuscitated a young man who foolishly fell asleep in an upper storey window and fell to the ground, although the story leaves some uncertainty as to whether the young man was really dead when Paul intervened to revive him.

In an apparent miracle of dubious morality, Paul blinded Elymas (Bar-jesus) the sorcerer, for trying to frustrate his attempts to convert Sergius Paulus (Acts 13:11).

On this evidence, it can be concluded that Paul did not perform any miracles at all.
