Bible Question: we are trying to find out about the 3 wise men following the star their names and where the reference to them are in the bible |
Bible Answer: The bible does not say that there were three wise men. this was added by man some where along the repeating of the story. The wise men were persian Rabbi and were most likly a group. why would King Herod call just three. Also most people believe that they visited the Messiah at the stable. This is also not correct as you can read in Matt. 2:11. It actually was a year or more later that the wisemen visited him in a house.This is why King Herod ordered all the male children killed ages two years and under,because he knew that Jesus would be in this age range by the time he figured out that the wisemen were not returning to him. |
