Yeah, the Bishop of Temi (whose roman name was pronounced Valentinus) was placed under house arrest by a judge for converting romans to christianity. Well, he and the judge get to talking about the validity of Jesus, and the judge decides to put Valentinus to the test. He brings his blind daughter in and tells Valentinus that, if he can cure her, that he (the judge) will do anything Valentinus asks. Valentinus lays his hands upon the girl and she is cured. The judge is so overcome that he asks Valentinus to name his price. Valentinus tells the judge to renounce paganism and convert to christianity.
Later, Valentinus is arrested again, only this time he is brought before the Emperor Claudius II, who has a much different reaction to the idea of converting...
