About Tychicus

One of the believers who accompanied Paul in his trip to collect and deliver the offering for the Jerusalem church (Acts 20:4). Since he is often mentioned with Trophimus of Ephesus, Tychicus was likely also a native of that city.

Tychicus delivered Paul’s letter to Ephesus (Ephesians 6:21) as well as Paul’s letters to Philemon and the Colossians (Colossians 4:7). Most believe that he was also one of the two Christians (with Trophimus) who accompanied Titus in the delivery of 2 Corinthians (2 Corinthians 8:16–24).
