Bible Question:
Was Jesus 2 Yrs. old when the wisemen visited him? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Chilo! The Bible never specifically says how old Jesus was the magi came to worship Him. However, two bits of evidence have led many to conclude that He was in fact two years old when they came. First of all, the word used to describe Jesus in Mt. 2:9, 11 is the Greek word 'paidion'. This word generally refers to a young child as opposed to 'brephos' which is used in Luke 2:12 and refers to an infant. Secondly, Mt. 2:16 indicates that Herod choose to kill the baby boys who were 2 years and under because of the time of the birth he had learned from the Magi. So, apparently, Jesus was about 2 years old when the Magi came to worship Him. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
