While there is no extra-biblical evidence of any miracles, Acts attributes more than three miracles to Peter, but the important ones can be grouped under three headings.

  1. Acts 3:7 says that Peter cured a lame beggar at the beginning of his missionary career. This led to many converting to Christianity. People were even cured when Peter's shadow happened to pass over them (Acts 5:15-16).
  2. According to Acts 9:36, Peter resurrected Tabitha, a good woman and a disciple, who was certainly dead and her body had already been washed. This miracle became known throughout Joppa and, as a result, many were converted.
  3. A double miracle was the killing of Ananias and his wife (Acts 5:1ff). Ananias had sold all his property, but lied about giving all the proceeds to Peter. He fell dead when Peter confronted him with the deceit. Later, just by telling the wife she would die, Sapphira fell dead as well.
