Ὁ Ἅγιος Σαδὼκ ἦταν Ἐπίσκοπος στὴν Περσίδα. Διδάσκοντας ὅμως στὸν λαὸ τὴν πίστη στὸν Χριστὸ καὶ πείθοντας πολλοὺς νὰ προσέλθουν στὸν Ζῶντα καὶ Ἀληθινὸ Θεό, προκάλεσε θυμὸ καὶ μεγάλη ὀργὴ στοὺς πυρολάτρες Μάγους, οἱ ὁποῖοι ἔστειλαν στρατιῶτες γιὰ νά τὸν συλλάβουν. Τὴν προηγούμενη ἡμέρα ὁ Ἅγιος εἶδε στὸν ὕπνο του τὸν προκάτοχό του Ἐπίσκοπο Ἱερομάρτυρα Συμεών, νὰ κάθεται σὲ μακριὰ σκάλα καὶ νὰ τὸν καλεῖ νὰ ἀνέβει κοντά του, λέγοντάς του ὅτι τὸν καλεῖ ὁ Βασιλεὺς καὶ Κύριος. Αὐτὸ ὅμως φανέρωνε τὴν ἀνάβαση διὰ τοῦ μαρτυρίου. Μέχρις νὰ διηγηθεῖ αὐτὰ ὁ Ἅγιος, ἀφοῦ ἔστειλαν στρατιῶτες οἱ Μάγοι, συνέλαβαν αὐτὸν καὶ τοὺς Χριστιανοὺς ποὺ βρίσκονταν μαζί του καὶ τοὺς ὁδήγησαν στὸν βασιλέα Σαπὼρ Β’ (311 – 380 μ.Χ), ἐνώπιον τοῦ ὁποίου ὁμολόγησαν τὴν πίστη τους στὸν Χριστό. Ἀμέσως τοὺς ἔριξαν στὴ φυλακή, τοὺς βασάνισαν καὶ τοὺς ἀποκεφάλισαν τὸ 330 μ.Χ. Ἔτσι, οἱ Ἅγιοι Μάρτυρες ἔλαβαν τὸ στέφανο τῆς δικαιοσύνης καὶ τῆς δόξας τοῦ Θεοῦ.
