John was called "Chrysostom"  which mean "Golden Mouth" because people loved to hear him speak.

John loved the city and people of Antioch, and they loved him. Sadly, John became so famous that the Empress at Constantinople decided to kidnap him and bring him to live in her city.  The Empress made him a bishop.  But when John preached against evil, he made enemies of evil men in Constantinople and was sent away to live alone, where he died.
