In the Bible why did Paul refuse to teach Peter how to perform miracles?

Nowhere.I think the story that you are referring to, is where a certain man of Samaria, a sorcerer, named Simon, (not the same Simon, as Simon Peter that it seems you are confusing him with), became converted to Christianity. He (Simon the sorcerer)saw how when Peter or disciples laid hands on someone, they received the Holy Ghost, evidenced at the time by tongue speaking, and prophesying. So he wanted this power for himself and so he went to Peter to ask him, how much must he pay to get this power. Simon the sorcerer, apparently thought miracles were like magic tricks that could be paid for. Peter basically told him to get lost, and repent, or God will put a hurting on him, Simon of course got scared at that point, and backed off, even asking Peter to pray that God wouldn't do this. This story is in Act 8:8-24.
