The first miracle by the Apostles

 There is an incident mentioned in the Acts chapter 3. Probably the first miracle  by the apostles, after the resurrection of Jesus

A man asks Peter for alms. He was handicapped and that was what he used to do for living

Peter replies : I don't have gold or silver, but I can heal you. And that man miraculously is cured of his handicap. He rose and danced and jumped for joy. This might be first such miracle where the receptor was given something that he didn't; ask for

Imagine, he after all the joy, discovers he can no longer beg for alms

All miracles need not be the ones you ask for. They might be the redemption you needed rather than the arms you wanted
