1 | How old was Jesus when the Magi brought | Matt 2:16 | Songbirdca | 46155 | ||
How old was Jesus when the Magi presented gifts to him? I'm finding conflicting stories in Matthew 2 and Luke 2 and from my pastor who insists Jesus was two. I'm trying to write a story about this and I'd like to get my facts straight. | ||||||
2 | How old was Jesus when the Magi brought | Matt 2:16 | Giam | 46156 | ||
Songbirdca, Here is how u can figure it out: Christ was born in a manger in Bethlehem: Luke 2:7, 12. He was then circimcised at 8 days of age: Luke 2:21. Mary then went from the Stable in Bethlehem to the Temple in Jerusalem after 32 days later: Luke 2:22, Leviticus 12:3-4: to present Jesus to God. And then they went back HOME to Nazareth. Luke 2:39. Then the wise men arrived and found Jesus IN THE HOUSE. MATTHEW 2:1,11. But how long after Chrsit got home to Nazareth did the wise men arrive? The only guide as to that time is that Herod, having enquired diligently of the wise men as to when they first saw the star, Matthew 2:7,16, told the wise men to go find 'the young child,' paidion, not babe, brephos as in Luke 2:12,16, 1:41, and he then killed every child under TWO years of age, when the wise men wisely did not go back to tell him where Christ was! Matthew 2:16. Hope that helps. Love and Respect, Giam |

Hi Searcher, It seems so based on Luke 2:39. Which wd explain also how the magi were able to easily escape from herod: matthew 2:12: 're-turn.' Love and Resepct, Giam |

Giam, Where did they go in Matt 2:22-23? Does this mean they left for Eygpt (vv 13-14) from Bethlehem (Judea) or Nazareth (Galilee)? |

Blessings in the name of Jesus! They had gone to Egypt, from Bethlehem, remaining in Egypt until the death of Herod (vv. 14,15). After Herod had died they went to Nazareth (vv.22,23). Prophecy was fulfilled in all of these circumstances: birth in Bethlehem (v.6), stay over in Egypt (v.15), dwelling in Nazareth (v.23). I hope this helps. |
