Yes, they told Herod that they were seeking the prophesied new born King of the Jews. They did not use any names as they did not know them, they did not even know where to look so they assumed that Herod would already know.
It is said that the gold stood for Jesus beeing the king of the Jews.
They were wise men or astrologers from the east. They came looking for a king of the Jews.
No. They knew that he was special and was the King of the Jews. But they did not know why he was here.
They were not kings.They were wise men.The king sent them to see and kill the new king who was to be named Jesus.
King Herod asked the wise men to tell him where he could find Jesus, because Herod wanted to kill Jesus.
King Herod mainly wanted to know from the wise men where it was that the king of the Jews would be born.So that he could kill the child.
Jesus was and is the King of the Jews, as proclaimed by the wise men, (Matthew 2.2), and by Pilate, on Jesus' cross in three languages. (John 19.19,20). But the people who rule this world, (Herod and the soldiers then), think this of Jesus, the everlasting Father and Prince of Peace. "If he is a king, then let us crown him - with thorns!" And Jesus never argued; He is meek and lowly in heart.
There is no story in the Gospels of any Arabian king giving anything to Our Lord Jesus.
The story follows as such An angel had appeared to Mary and said that she was to have a baby of the lord and that she was to name him Jesus. Mary and Joseph then travelled to Bethlehem and they stayed in a stable/barn and she had baby Jesus (he was born in a manger inside the barn). Three wise men came bearing gifts for the new born king because they believed that he was the "king of the Jews". And that is the story of the birth of Jesus.
because Jesus the wisest man so the wise man bow down on him.:PI believe they understood Him to be King, Lord, and Savior.
It was His star. Matthew 2: 1-2 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
they saw King Herod who ruled over the Jews.
