Apart from raising the dead to life and helping out the wedding party by turning water into wine, Jesus had a vindictive side in his miracle making.
After a busy day healing the blind and the lame he stayed in lodgings overnight. When he was hungry in the morning he came across a fig tree with no fruit. What did he do? Well he said:
“let no fruit grow on thee henceforward and forever.”

(Matthew 21:17-22; Mark 11:12-14,20-24)
|
The fig tree miraculously withered away. With powers like his you would think that Jesus might have miracled some fruit onto the tree and sated his hunger, but maybe that wouldn’t have been so dramatically obvious to his disciples. After all, his next statement was to tell the disciples that they could cast mountains into the sea by the power of prayer if only they believe.
Since nobody has ever been able to cast a mountain into the sea by prayer it can only be concluded that nobody has ever believed or Jesus was wrong.
Well, Jesus was wrong and he didn’t kill the fig tree either.

None of the miracles attributed to saints happened in the way that is claimed to justify their canonisation.
