By contrast, Peter was able to use the true gift of miracles to heal people as they lay in the streets (Acts 5:15); Paul's use of the miraculous gifts was personally witnessed by an unbelieving Government minister (Acts 13:12,13), as well as by many of the pagans living in the city of Lystra (Acts 14:8-13).
Kwa namna nyingine kabisa, Petro aliweza kutumia karama ya kweli ya ishara kwa kuponya watu walipolala katika njia kuu (Mdo. 5:15); Kutumia Paulo karama zenye miujiza mwenyewe alishuhudiwa na mtumishi wa Serikali asiyeamini (Mdo. 13: 12,13), vile vile na wapagani walioishi katika mji wa Listra (Mdo. 14: 8 - 13).
