On the death of his father, John was made chief councillor of Damascus, which was around the same time that iconoclasm began to appear.  John wrote against the Emporer's edict against icons, with three ''Apologetic Treatises against those Decrying the Holy Images'', works that made his reputation.  After a forged letter was sent by Leo the Isaurian, John's hand was cut off, but was restored after fervent prayer before an icon of the Virgin Mary.
