Directly, and indirectly: he did press a cloth to His face, creating an image of himself--very much a direct action--and King Abgar was cured--indirect I suppose. Neither action, direct or indirect, is recorded in the Gospels, and the Gospel of John states that there are more deeds Christ did than can be accounted for by the Scriptures (even allowing St. John's 'I suppose' to indicate a bit of hyperbole in his estimate of the volume of books needed to record them)--a good fat, handwritten codex of the entire canon of Scripture will fit quite conveniently on my dining room table, hardly a volume anywhere near filling the world to overflowing.

Wow, David. I thought only us cool Catholics knew that :)

That is amasing,huh? As I recall, that was written by Eusebius in his Ecclesiastical History

Wait a minute! You can't have it both ways. The bible said the world couldn't contain the books which means He did almost infinite things. You can't call that hyperbole when you just said "Either there are not enough deeds of Christ not recorded in the Scriptures so that (on the Holy Apostle and Evangelist John's estimate) the world could not contain the books recording them, and we have a false passage in Scripture,"
