Bible Question:
Was Jesus 2 Yrs. old when the wisemen visited him? |
Bible Answer: We know from Scripture that Jesus was not an infant baby when the wise men visited Him. In Matthew 2:11 Jesus and His family were living in a "house" when the wise men visited. [NOTE: Contrary to the millions of nativities sets out there, there were no wise men at Jesus' birth. So you might want to take your wise men out of the nativity and set them across the room!] The wise men traveled from the far east and that took time, time from when they first saw the star in the sky.(…they were riding camels!) All these events came about AFTER the Christ was born. (Matthew 2:!) The Bible does not tell us how old Jesus was, but we know that the wise men visited him AFTER his birth when his family had settled into a house. Pray this clarifies your question. PJC |
