3 Nephi 19: 35-36 [BOM]
“And it came to pass that who Jesus had made an end of praying he came again to the disciples are said unto them: so great faith have I never seen among all the Jews; wherefore I could not show unto them so great miracles because of their unbelief. Verily I say unto you, there are none of them that have seen so great things as ye have seen; neither have they heard so great things as ye have heard.”
Really, let’s just think about that for a moment. Among whom did Jesus deign to be born of a virgin? Where was it that he walked on water? Where was it that he healed lepers, lame, deaf, mute and blind? And where was it that he allowed the world to see him die, be buried and rise again on the third day? Among the Jews of first century Israel, where he had many who showed great faith, even among the gentiles. And these are the greatest of miracles because they are the ones that effected our salvation.

Then, too, there was Lazarus being called out from the grave by Jesus-1. And that was so great a miracle, it was apparently enough to set the Jewish leaders to resolve to kill Jesus-1.
I think Jesus-2 is kinda selling himself short here for the stuff he did in Palestine.
