Ephesians 6:21

Ephesians 6:21

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

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 (), who accompanied Paul when traveling from Macedonia to Asia, and was sent by him to various Churches (; 2 Timothy 4:12; ).

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. Shall make known to you all things.
