Full text from the video
An 86-year-old bishop named Polycarp stood in a Roman arena surrounded by bloodthirsty crowds.
The proconsul leaned in close and whispered, swear by Caesar, curse Christ, and you walk free.
Polycarp's response shook the stadium. Eighty six years I have served Him and He has done
me no wrong. How can I blaspheme my King who saved me? They tied him to
the stake. He told them no nails needed, I'll stand still. The fire roared
to life. But instead of consuming him, the flames bent around his body
like a shield. Witnesses said he glowed like gold in an oven and smelled like bread,
not burning flesh. Enraged, the executioner stabbed him. Blood gushed out
