121 | How old was Jesus when the Magi brought | Matt 2:16 | Songbirdca | 46208 | ||
Just a follow-up to that Giam I've been looking at a map of the Holy Land. King Herod was King of Judea his decree that went out to kill all children two years and under was for Bethlehem and it's vicinity. Nazareth was in Galilee, which as far as I can tell (correct me if I'm wrong)was not under his jurisdiction. So if Mary and Joseph were in Nazareth why would they have to flee? Take a look at a map and you'll see what I mean. Thanks Songbird |

Thanks so much Giam! I have never seen that before. Isn't it wonderful when God opens your eyes to new things in Scripture! Herod sent them to Bethlehem, because his advisors told him that is where the baby was, but the Wise men "wisely" followed the star until it reached Nazareth! Awesome! I have always assumed they went to Bethlehem. This makes more sense. Thanks Your sister in Christ Songbird |

123 | 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. | ||||||

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. | ||||||

How did the Magi of Matthew 2, come to be known as kings if they were merely fortune tellers? I'd be very interested to know the answer. | ||||||
