Jesus did not do so in PART like we do.
But if these things ought not be done, that defies Jesus' words after having told the woman at the well how many husbands she had, and telling Nathanael where he was before Philip came to him, saying these things shall ye do and greater. |
All the more reason to be skeptical, brother. If we only know and prophesy in part, and there is only a short record of the Lord Jesus ever doing the above, then when someone stands up among the believers and begins doing the self-same thing hundreds of times, or more, in their life and ministry, it beleaguers the Christian to accept it as truly being from God.
Jeremiah prophesied for 33 years, and if my count is accurate, he wrote that the Word of the Lord only came to him a total of about 35 times. So, just barely more than once per year on average. It's food for thought when it comes to someone's spiritual gifting.
