Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful servant in the Lord Tychicus is mentioned several times in the New Testament as a close associate of the Apostle Paul. He is described as a "beloved brother," indicating a deep spiritual kinship and mutual respect. The term "faithful servant" highlights his reliability and dedication to the ministry. Tychicus was likely from the province of Asia, possibly Ephesus, and he accompanied Paul on several missionary journeys. His role as a messenger and representative of Paul underscores the trust Paul placed in him. This phrase emphasizes the importance of trustworthy companions in ministry and the familial bond among believers. will tell you everything so that you also may know about me and what I am doing Persons / Places / Events 1.

The Impact of Personal Testimony Tychicus's role in sharing Paul's circumstances highlights the power of personal testimony in encouraging and strengthening the faith of others.(21) That ye also--i.e., ye as well as others. There is evidently an allusion to Tychicus' similar mission to Colossae; and we may, perhaps, also trace some indication of a generality of scope in this Epistle. Tychicus is first mentioned with Trophimus in Acts 20:4, as being "of Asia," and accompanying St. Paul on his last journey from Corinth to Asia, although he is not, like Trophimus, actually named as with the Apostle at Jerusalem. It is highly probable that he was one of the "messengers of the churches" spoken of in 2Corinthians 8:18-23, as sent to bear the alms to Jerusalem. We now find him again with St. Paul, and made by him the bearer of this Epistle and the Epistle to the Colossians. Lastly, he is alluded to as still his companion in the interval between the first and second captivity (Titus 3:2), and in the second captivity is despatched once more to Ephesus (2Timothy 4:12). It is evident that he well deserved the title of a "faithful minister" to the Apostle; and we note (in 2Timothy 4:11-12) that the command to bring Mark, as being "profitable for ministration" is immediately connected with the remark, "Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus." . . . Verses 21, 22. - MISSION OF TYCHICUS. Verse 21. - But that ye also may know my affairs, how I do. Having referred to his captivity, he thought it natural for the Ephesians to desire more information about him, how he did or fared in his captivity. Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord. Nothing more is known of him than that (with Trophimus) he was a man of Asia (Acts 20:4), who accompanied Paul when traveling from Macedonia to Asia, and was sent by him to various Churches (Colossians 4:7; 2 Timothy 4:12; Titus 3:12). The two qualities by which he is noted, lovableness and fidelity, have not only served to embalm his name, but show that he had much of Paul's own character.
