My father has told me that the OT prophets performed miracles as a sort of signature that what they said was inspired, and I tend to agree even though in the Torah it says you can discern a true prophet from a false one if his prophecies come true or not. And Jesus was rather radical. While He mostly refined the teaching He gave Moses to expose the true spirit, his acts of nonviolence towards everyone but the moneychangers could be seen as contradicting the often used death penalty.
