| 1 | How old was Jesus when the Magi brought | Num 24:17 | nitehoss | 46154 | ||
| A guote from Bible Answers for 1000 Difficult Questions by George Sandison and Staff... The infant Saviour was probably over two months old when the visit of the Magi took place. They had seen the phenomenon of the star long before their arrival in Jerusalem, two months after Jesus had been presented in the temple, and it was some time after this that the Maji arrived in Jerusalem and went thence to Bethlehem to worship him and offer gifts. It must have taken them many months to accomplish the journey from their own country to Palestine. |

| 2 | How old was Jesus when the Magi brought | Num 24:17 | Songbirdca | 46185 | ||
| That makes sense, however in Luke ch. 2 we read that Mary had to wait until her time of purification was complete before they could go up to Jerusalem to present Jesus in the temple. According to Lev. 12:4 that time was 33 days. Luke 2:22 says they went to Jerusalem when her time of purification had been completed. Which would make Jesus 1 month old. Luke 2:39 goes on to say, "When Joseph and Mary had done everything required by the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee to their own town of Nazareth." Not to Bethlehem but Nazareth, which is why I'm finding the age thing very confusing. | ||||||
