Saint John, Bishop of Polybotum (in Phrygia), was known as a
denouncer of the heresy and impiety of Emperor Leo the Isaurian. St John
opposed Leo for his iconoclasm, and taught his flock the Orthodox
doctrine of the veneration of icons.
The saint died at the
beginning of the eighth century. The Lord granted him the gift of
healing the infirm and casting out evil spirits.
