Tychicus (lit. Chance) accompanied this letter to Ephesus and may have carried it. What Paul wrote about Tychicus and his purpose in sending Tychicus to Ephesus was almost identical to what he wrote in Colossians 4:7-8. Tychicus" mission was to give the Ephesian Christians further information about Paul and to comfort and encourage them (cf. Acts 20:4; Colossians 4:7; Titus 3:12; 2 Timothy 4:12).
