Gustave Doré, “St. Paul, imprisoned, ends the letter to the Ephesians, and hands it over to Tychicus,” 1886

“Tychicus, my beloved brother, trustworthy minister, and fellow slave in the Lord, will tell you all the news of me. I am sending him to you for this very purpose, so that you may know about us and that he may encourage your hearts.” —Colossians 4:7–8
