Did the shepherds and kings visit jesus the same day?
Traditionally, the shepherds were said to visit Jesus on the night of his birth, while the wise men arrived later, possibly up to two years after his birth. However, in the Bible, it is not explicitly specified whether they visited on the same day.
Who was the first to hear about Jesus' birth?
AnswerThe nativity stories in Matthew and Luke are quite different and, in many ways incompatible. To some extent, they could be considered two different stories, or at least two different versions of an uncertain story.Matthew has the magi travel from the east to see the baby Jesus. Because, for Matthew, Bethlehem seems to have been the home town of Mary and Joseph, and because Herod was so uncertain of the time of Jesus' birth that he ordered the slaying of all the infants under two, we could imagine that the magi arrived some months - up to two years - after the birth of Jesus.Luke has the shepherds come to see the baby Jesus. We know that this could only have been within weeks of the birth of Jesus because the young couple travelled to Jerusalem for the ritual purification of Mary, then returned peacefully to Nazareth. The magi could have come later than the shepherds, but of course the stories give us nothing by which to prove they did. Either the magi or the shepherds coud have been first.Another answer:The shepherds. The visit from the wise men was up to two years later.According to Luke's gospel, angels announced Christ's arrival to shepherds in the field on the night of His birth, and they immediately went and saw a "babe" (Greek brephos - "a new-born child") in the manger (Luke 2:8-15). Luke doesn't tell of the visit of the wise men.Conversely, Matthew's account doesn't tell of the shepherds' visit; indeed, it says nothing of events on the night of Jesus' birth, and some time elapses between the close of Matthew 1 (the naming of Jesus, which would officially have taken place at His circumcision, when He was eight days old - Luke 2:26) and the beginning of Matthew 2.When the wise men arrived, Matthew 2:11 says that Jesus was a "young child" (Greek paidion - "a young child, a little boy, a little girl; of a more advanced child"), and that they found Him in a "house" with Mary His mother (not in the manger). By this time, Jesus would have been up to two years old, as evidenced by Herod's subsequent "slaughter of the innocents:" all male children in the region aged two and under (Matthew 2:16).
What are the different things the angel gabriel said to Mary when he appeared to her?
The angel Gabriel greeted Mary by saying, "Hail, O favored one, the Lord is with you!" He informed her that she would conceive a son, named Jesus, who would be the Son of God and the Savior of the world. Gabriel also reassured Mary not to be afraid and shared that her relative Elizabeth was also pregnant.
Did Jesus have earrings?
There is no mention of Jesus wearing earrings in the Bible. Earrings were not common for men in Jewish culture during that time, so it is unlikely that Jesus wore them.

What did the shepherds ride to jesus on?
The bible does not tell us this, but they could have walked there.As they were poor people.
Is it possible for Jesus to have been born during the winter?
A:Many children are born during the winter. Luke's Gospel qualifies this, because it talks of shepherds watching their flocks at night, out in the open pastures. It has been pointed out that shepherds would never have kept their sheep outside at night time in the winter, thus ruling out Jesus having been born in winter. However, the story of the shepherds finding Jesus in a manger is only in Luke's Gospel. Matthew's Gospel has an entirely different nativity story in which Bethlehem is the home town of Mary and Joseph, so Jesus is born in a house, not a stable. The shepherds do not visit Jesus in Matthew, so he could have been born at any time of the year.
Where was Jesus when the shepherd met him?
I could find no record of Jesus meeting a shepherd. He is regarded as a shepherd of mankind. Possibly you mean the shepherds who came when Jesus was born, that was in Bethlehem.
What actions did the shepherds take following their encounter with the angel in the field?
They ran to tell the news to everyone they met that night, and searched for Jesus so they could worship Him.
Where was prophet Jesus born?
Jesus was supposed to have been born in the stable of an inn in the village of Bethlehem.
Why was the shepherd first to be told of Jesus birth?
It is generally accepted that this is because shepherds were outsiders in society, not trusted by others. The announcement to shepherds indicates that the good news of Christ's coming was for all people, even those traditionally excluded by others.
Where in Bible does Jesus say he can command legions of angels?
The night He was arrested, when His disciples tried to protect Him with physical force, Jesus said, "Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword. Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels?"(Matthew 26:52, 53 NKJV)While it is true Jesus made the statement in Matthew 26:53 that twelve legions of angels could be made available to Him, let's not overlook what He said before this ... "think that I cannot pray to My Father, and HE will provide". It seems that the command would have come from God the Father, not God the Son (Jesus).Psalm 8:4, 5 & Hebrews 2:6, 7, says that man is created a little lower than the angels. Hebrews 2:9 makes it clear that Jesus was sent to the earth and held a position lower than angels (He became man). Jesus as God incarnate would have to obey the laws that governed men. Though He was God in the flesh, He could not operate as God. So ... nowhere in the Bible does it say that Jesus can command legions of angels.
When Jesus was born did anything strange happen?
According to the Gospel of Luke, angels came and informed one group of shepherds, so that they could go and worship Jesus in the manger. The author of Matthew's Gospel knew nothing of this particular event.According to the Gospel of Matthew, magi came following a star from the east, so that they could worship Jesus in the house where he was born. The author of Luke's Gospel knew nothing of this particular event, and the star was not recorded by any of the scribes who recorded all other interesting celestial events of the time. Even stranger is the reported ability of a star to move from the east to Jerusalem then back towards the south-east to Bethlehem, where it enabled the magi to identify the exact house in which the baby Jesus was to be found.
Did the shepherds and kings visit jesus the same day?
Traditionally, the shepherds were said to visit Jesus on the night of his birth, while the wise men arrived later, possibly up to two years after his birth. However, in the Bible, it is not explicitly specified whether they visited on the same day.
Is December 25 really the day Jesus was born?
No. The Bible says that at the time of His birth, "And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night." Luke 2:8. Shepherds do not keep their flocks in the fields in the winter in Israel at night, because it is very cold then at night in Israel.Another Answer:For proof that the above is not correct and for information as to why Jesus could very well have been born on December 25 see the link below.
Why does the bible reference shepherds so often?
Shepherds and Shepherding were a major occupation during Biblical times. Most people could relate to that reference easily.
In which book of the Bible is the nativity found?
There is one story of the nativity in Matthew's Gospel. Joseph and Mary lived in a house in Bethlehem, where the virgin Mary conceived and had a child. Magi came following a star from the east, to bring gifts and worship Jesus. King Herod, afraid for his throne, sought to kill the baby Jesus, so Mary, Joseph and Jesus fled to Egypt until after the death of Herod, when they began to return to Bethlehem, but turned aside and migrated to Galilee.There is another nativity story in Luke's Gospel. Joseph and Mary lived in Nazareth in Galilee, but had to travel to Bethlehem for the census of Quirinius. In Bethlehem, they could not find lodgings and had to sleep in a stable, where Mary bore a child. Shepherds were told by angels of the birth, and came to worship Jesus. A few days after the birth, the young family travelled to Jerusalem and then returned peacefully to Nazareth.The modern Christian understanding of the nativity is a syncretism of the two gospel accounts.
