what subset of all miracles does Jesus do

 What subset of all miracles does Jesus do? 

In other words, in the class of all miracles would exist all possible miracles. But Jesus only does a small subset of all possible miracles. For instance it appears Jesus never introduces new technology. Jesus never flies like Superman. Jesus never appears to do any superpower involving superhuman abilities of strength agility or intelligence for the most part. He's able to outsmart the religious leaders, but he never gets involved in any sort of philosophical or logical debate. Then the next question is why, which generally throughout the Bible we do not get answered. The classic example of not getting a clear answer is Job. God basically slaps Job around at the very end, and then gives him tons more junk, and tons more kids to raise, and so his friends come and comfort him for all the evil that God did to him; but in his old age he's far more wealthy and better off than he ever was before, if you're into that sort of thing. Still he doesn't get "why" answered. Now from what we know at the beginning of the book, it appears that God is simply testing Job and maybe even trying to use Satan to test possibly us.

 The point is we're probably not going to find out why Jesus did the certain miracles that he did. In fact Jesus himself may not know why he did those specific miracles as it appears He was largely under the control of the Heavenly Father.

None of these things involve working with machinery, tools or weapons. It seems that Jesus largely manipulates, creates, or changes organic material. Jesus changes human flesh, changes water, and multiplies fish and bread from a small supply. For instance, Jesus doesn't create 20,000 folding chairs for people to sit on out on the side of the mountain to listen to him for 3 days. And how about some cots and sleeping bags?

Jesus does one miracle involving animals in which 2000 animals end up getting killed.

 

Here's a thought:

The process of taking physical matter to make things is Satan's domain. God is unhappy with the Tower of Babel. Also when Satan tempts Jesus he uses material stuff in two of his Temptations. The three Temptations are turning rocks into bread, jumping off the temple, and worshiping Satan to gain all the kingdoms of the world. Notice that Jesus wouldn't be taking a small plant or a small piece of bread to make larger bread but he would be turning an inanimate object into organic matter. Water appears to be a special category of inanimate object that Jesus is allowed to work with. The point is that manipulating physical inanimate matter to do stuff is part of Satan's domain. Another example is that Jesus never touches money during his ministry. The disciples have money or other people show him money but Jesus never has any money. The thought here is that it is part of the agreement as to how Jesus and Satan will behave during their Ministry periods here on Earth. Money is part of Satan's domain so when Satan is here on Earth he will definitely be controlling money. Will Satan be able to do Miracles involving biological matter? That is uncertain. It's also interesting that Peter immediately gets entangled in issues dealing with money as head of the church. People are complaining that funds from the church are not being used properly to take care of the widows or orphans. Also one couple lies about money that they've given to the church,  which leads to their immediate death. But during Jesus' ministry he never has anything to do with money.
