Why did Jesus perform miracles when Paul would not?

OK, sorry, the thread title is a little misleading, because I know Paul did perform miracles. I was thinking about this verse:

1 Corinthians 1:22-23 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;

Paul seems to be saying he ignored the jewish desire for signs and just preached Christ crucified.

But in that case why did Jesus perform so many signs?

Any thoughts?
