作为一名隐士，雅科弗夏天生活在露天旷野，冬天生活在山洞中。有一次，他前往尼斯比斯城，想看一看基督信仰如何兴旺，基督徒们如何生活。在那里雅科弗被推举为尼斯比斯的主教。他参加了第一次普世大公会议（尼西亚，公元325年），捍卫正教信仰，抵抗阿里乌异端邪说。有一次，信奉异教的波斯人领军攻打尼斯比斯。圣雅科弗带着一支举着十字架和旗帜的巡游队伍来到城墙前。他独自爬上城墙，并在城墙上巡行，一点儿也不畏惧敌人朝他射来的箭。他在城墙上一边行走，一边向上帝祈祷，请求上帝护佑这座城和城中的信徒们：“求上帝将蚊蝇之殃降于波斯人，让他们逃离尼斯比斯的城墙。”雅科弗并不希望波斯人死亡，也不希望他们遭受大灾惨败，只是盼望一个小麻烦能让他们撤兵离开。上帝垂允了他的祈祷，以蚊蝇之殃驱走了异教徒的军队。由此，尼斯比斯城得到了保全。圣雅科弗长寿而荣耀地渡过了他的一生，于公元350年高龄之际平安离世。
