The apostles were of different types but there was only one Peter and one Paul who said with confidence, “I can do all things in him who strengtheneth me.”
I don't know what Paul was referring to here. However, we do know that Sacred Scripture does not contain everything that Christ and the apostles said and did. One could only speculate about what unrecorded miracles Christ, and the apostles through Christ, worked during their time.
One can not even imagine the confidence that these men must have had. A confidence that was not centered on themselves but in their Master in whom and through whom they could do “all things.”
