Traveling with Paul to Asia

Tychicus from the province of Asia was among those who accompanied Paul on his return journey through Macedonia, as part of a group of coworkers from various churches.

4Traveling with him were Sopater son of Pyrrhus, from Berea; Aristarchus and Secundus from Thessalonica; Gaius from Derbe; Timothy; and Tychicus and Trophimus from the province of Asia.
συνείπετο δὲ ⸀αὐτῷ Σώπατρος ⸀Πύρρου Βεροιαῖος, Θεσσαλονικέων δὲ Ἀρίσταρχος καὶ Σεκοῦνδος, καὶ Γάϊος Δερβαῖος καὶ Τιμόθεος, Ἀσιανοὶ δὲ Τυχικὸς καὶ Τρόφιμος·
5These men went on ahead and waited for us at Troas.
οὗτοι ⸀δὲ ⸀προσελθόντες ἔμενον ἡμᾶς ἐν Τρῳάδι·

Messenger to Ephesus

Paul sent Tychicus to the church in Ephesus with his letter, to inform them about how Paul was doing and to encourage their hearts.

21So that you also may know how I am and what I am doing, Tychicus, our dear brother and faithful servant in the Lord, will tell you everything.
Ἵνα δὲ ⸂εἰδῆτε καὶ ὑμεῖς⸃ τὰ κατʼ ἐμέ, τί πράσσω, πάντα ⸂γνωρίσει ὑμῖν⸃ Τυχικὸς ὁ ἀγαπητὸς ἀδελφὸς καὶ πιστὸς διάκονος ἐν κυρίῳ,
22I am sending him to you for this very reason: that you may know how things are with us, and that he may encourage your hearts.
ὃν ἔπεμψα πρὸς ὑμᾶς εἰς αὐτὸ τοῦτο ἵνα γνῶτε τὰ περὶ ἡμῶν καὶ παρακαλέσῃ τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν.

Messenger to Colossae

Tychicus was sent together with Onesimus to Colossae with Paul's letter, to inform the church about Paul's situation and comfort them.

7Tychicus will tell you all about my situation. He is a beloved brother, a faithful servant and fellow slave in the Lord.
Τὰ κατʼ ἐμὲ πάντα γνωρίσει ὑμῖν Τυχικὸς ὁ ἀγαπητὸς ἀδελφὸς καὶ πιστὸς διάκονος καὶ σύνδουλος ἐν κυρίῳ,
8I am sending him to you for this very purpose, so that you may know how we are and that he may encourage your hearts.
ὃν ἔπεμψα πρὸς ὑμᾶς εἰς αὐτὸ τοῦτο ἵνα ⸀γνῶτε τὰ περὶ ⸀ἡμῶν καὶ παρακαλέσῃ τὰς καρδίας ὑμῶν,
9With him comes Onesimus, our faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will tell you everything that is happening here.
σὺν Ὀνησίμῳ τῷ πιστῷ καὶ ἀγαπητῷ ἀδελφῷ, ὅς ἐστιν ἐξ ὑμῶν· πάντα ὑμῖν γνωρίσουσιν τὰ ὧδε.

Possible Mission to Crete

Paul considered sending either Artemas or Tychicus to Titus in Crete, so that Titus could travel on to Paul in Nicopolis.

12As soon as I send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there.
Ὅταν πέμψω Ἀρτεμᾶν πρὸς σὲ ἢ Τυχικόν, σπούδασον ἐλθεῖν πρός με εἰς Νικόπολιν, ἐκεῖ γὰρ κέκρικα παραχειμάσαι.

Sent to Ephesus during Paul's Second Imprisonment

During his second imprisonment in Rome, Paul sent Tychicus to Ephesus, possibly to relieve Timothy so that Timothy could come to Paul.

12Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.
Τυχικὸν δὲ ἀπέστειλα εἰς Ἔφεσον.
