He was one of the prominent disciples of the Apostle John the Theologian and lived in the first century. He was born in Sevastopol, in Asia Minor, and was noted for his special zeal for the Christian faith from childhood.
Eutychius was ordained a bishop by the apostle John and served in the city of Sevastia. He actively preached the Gospel, converted many pagans to Christianity, healed the sick and performed other miracles. In his work, Eutychius was constantly persecuted by the pagan authorities and was arrested and tortured several times.
During one of the persecutions, by order of Emperor Domitian, Eutychius was thrown into a boiling cauldron, but remained unharmed. This miracle so impressed many that many people converted to Christianity. After that, Eutychius was subjected to even more cruel tortures and was finally beheaded.
