Tychicus is mentioned several times in the New Testament as a trusted companion of Paul. He is first introduced in <a href="/acts/20-4.htm">Acts 20:4</a> as one of Paul's companions on his journey to Jerusalem. His role as a messenger is significant, as he is entrusted with delivering important letters, such as this one to the Colossians, and also the letter to the Ephesians (<a href="/ephesians/6-21.htm">Ephesians 6:21-22</a>). This highlights the early Christian practice of using trusted individuals to convey messages and maintain communication between distant churches. Tychicus's role underscores the importance of personal relationships and trust within the early Christian community.He is a beloved brother, The term "beloved brother" indicates a deep affection and spiritual kinship. In the early church, the concept of brotherhood transcended biological ties, emphasizing the unity and love among believers as members of the body of Christ. This phrase reflects the close bond and mutual respect between Paul and Tychicus, as well as the broader Christian community's emphasis on love and fellowship (<a href="/john/13-34.htm">John 13:34-35</a>).a faithful minister, The description of Tychicus as a "faithful minister" highlights his reliability and dedication to serving the church. The Greek word for minister, "diakonos," implies a servant role, emphasizing humility and service to others. This aligns with the teachings of Jesus, who modeled servant leadership (<a href="/mark/10-43.htm">Mark 10:43-45</a>). Tychicus's faithfulness is a testament to his commitment to the gospel and his role in supporting Paul's ministry.and a fellow servant in the Lord. The phrase "fellow servant in the Lord" underscores the shared mission and partnership in the work of the gospel. It reflects the early Christian understanding of ministry as a collective effort, with each member contributing to the growth and edification of the church (<a href="/1_corinthians/3-9.htm">1 Corinthians 3:9</a>). This designation also points to the spiritual equality among believers, regardless of their specific roles or tasks, as all are servants of Christ (<a href="/galatians/3-28.htm">Galatians 3:28</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/t/tychicus.htm">Tychicus</a> A trusted companion of the Apostle Paul, Tychicus is described as a "beloved brother, a faithful minister, and fellow servant in the Lord."

Remembering that the two Epistles were sent at the same time, and that Ephesus was a church far better known than Colossae, we cannot but regard this as supporting the idea of an encyclical character in our Epistle to the Ephesians.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/colossians/4.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verses 7-18. - SECTION X. PERSONAL MESSAGES AND GREETINGS. St. Paul concludes his letter, first, by introducing to the Colossians its bearer, Tychicus, along with whom he commends to them their own Onesimus, returning to his master (vers. 7-9); then, according to his custom, he conveys greetings from his various friends and helpers present with him at the time, in particular from Mark, who was likely to visit them, and from Epaphras their own devoted minister (vers. 10-14); thirdly, he sends greeting to the neighbouring and important Church of Laodicea, specially mentioning Nympha, with directions to exchange letters with the Laodiceans, and with a pointed warning to Archippus, probably a Colossian, having some charge over that Church (vers. 15-17). Finally, he appends, with his own hand, his apostolic greeting and benediction (ver. 18). The personal references of this section, though slight and cursory, are of peculiar value, bearing themselves the strongest marks of genuineness, and decisively attesting the Pauline authorship of the Epistle. At the same time, we gather from them several independent facts throwing light on St. Paul's position during his imprisonment, and on his relations to other leading personages of the Church. Verse 7. - All that relates to me (literally, the things concerning me) Tychicus, the beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow servant (bondman), will make known to you (<a href="/ephesians/6-21.htm">Ephesians 6:21, 22</a>; <a href="/titus/3-12.htm">Titus 3:12</a>; <a href="/1_timothy/6-12.htm">1 Timothy 6:12</a>; 1:8; <a href="/1_thessalonians/3-2.htm">1 Thessalonians 3:2</a>; <a href="/philippians/2-25.htm">Philippians 2:25</a>). Tychicus appears first in <a href="/acts/20-4.htm">Acts 20:4</a>, where he is called an "Asian" (of the Roman province of Asia, of which Ephesus was capital), along with Trophimus, who, in <a href="/acts/21-29.htm">Acts 21:29</a>, is styled "the Ephesian." He accompanied the apostle on his voyage to Jerusalem (A.D. 58), with a number of others representing different Churches, and deputed, as Lightfoot thinks, in conformity with the directions of <a href="/1_corinthians/16-3.htm">1 Corinthians 16:3, 4</a>, to convey the contributions raised for "the poor saints at Jerusalem." Trophimus was with St. Paul in Jerusalem (<a href="/acts/21-29.htm">Acts 21:29</a>), and so, probably, his colleague (the words, "as far as Asia," in <a href="/acts/20-4.htm">Acts 20:4</a>, are of very doubtful authority), he is now with the apostle in his imprisonment at Rome, about to be sent home with these two letters (comp. <a href="/ephesians/6-21.htm">Ephesians 6:21, 22</a>), and in charge of Onesimus, on whose account the apostle sends a private letter to Philemon. In the interval between the first (present) and second imprisonment (2 Timothy), the apostle revisited the Asiatic Churches (so we infer from <a href="/1_timothy/1-3.htm">1 Timothy 1:3</a>), and Tychicus rejoined him; for we find St. Paul proposing to send him to Titus in Crete (<a href="/titus/3-12.htm">Titus 3:12</a>), and finally sending him from Rome once more to Ephesus (2 Timothy 6:12). These facts sustain the high terms in which he is here spoken cf. "In the Lord" belongs both to "minister" and "fellow servant." This language is almost identical with that used of Epaphras in <a href="/colossians/1-7.htm">Colossians 1:7</a> (see notes). Tychicus is "minister" (διάκονος), not to Paul himself (<a href="/acts/19-22.htm">Acts 19:22</a>; <a href="/acts/13-5.htm">Acts 13:5</a>, ὑπηρέτης), nor in the official sense of <a href="/philippians/1-1.htm">Philippians 1:1</a>, but "of Christ," "of the gospel," or "the Church" (<a href="/1_thessalonians/3-2.htm">1 Thessalonians 3:2</a>), as St. Paul himself (<a href="/colossians/1-23.htm">Colossians 1:23, 25</a>). He is "a beloved brother" to his fellow believers, "a faithful minister" of the Lord Christ, and "a fellow servant" with the apostle (<a href="/colossians/1-7.htm">Colossians 1:7</a>; <a href="/colossians/4-10.htm">Colossians 4:10</a>; <a href="/philippians/2-25.htm">Philippians 2:25</a>). <a href="/commentaries/colossians/4-7.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>Tychicus Τυχικὸς (Tychikos) Noun - Nominative Masculine Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_5190.htm">Strong's 5190: </a> From a derivative of tugchano; fortuitous, i.e. Fortunate; Tychicus, a Christian. will tell γνωρίσει (gnōrisei) Verb - Future Indicative Active - 3rd Person Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_1107.htm">Strong's 1107: </a> To make known, declare, know, discover.
