Best Answer

A few hours because otherwise they wouldn't have been able to see Jesus be born

Another Answer:

The Scripture doesn't give an exact time but it must of been months or more. Consider that the words used for 'East' are two with one being as far away as modern Persia and that after Herod spoke to the Magi, he ordered the killing of all children under 2 years of age - taking into consideration the timing they 1st say the star in the East and began to follow on camels, probably in a caravan for safety.

When the wise men came to King Herod asking where the King of the Jews was to be born the scribe told Herod the city from sec 15?

This question has its timeline mixed. The account in Matthew 2 has Wise Men following the star from the East and asking for the King of the Jews to soon be born. This occurred during the reign of King Herod. When the King heard of this, he summoned his scribes to inquire about the place this birth event was to happen. They told him in Bethlehem per the prophecy in Micah 5:2. Herod then secretly summoned these Wise Men sending them to Bethlehem asking that they tell him where/when they find this new King. See Matthew 2 for full story


What is Matthew 2 all about?

Matthew 2 tells about the wise men comming to see Jesus in Bethlehem. The wise men talk to King Herod and tell him they are looking for the saviour. Herod tries to trick the wise men into revealing where the saviour is but the wise men are warned in a dream and don't see Herod again. Herod realizes the wise men have tricked him and so he plans to kill all male children under two years old. Joseph is warned in a dream and him and Mary their son go to live in Egypt until Herod dies.


What did herod ask the wise men to do?

The Wise men arrived in Jerusalem searching for the baby Jesus ("He who is born King of the Jews"- Matt.2:2). King Herod hearing about their search found out from religious leaders that "a Ruler would come from Bethlehem." (Micah 5:2). Herod was insanely jealous that this "Ruler" would usurp him, take his place and become the next king. So Herod secretly spoke to the Wise men to find out the time when they had first seen the Star they had followed (with this knowledge Herod estimated the approximate age of the Child) and told the Wise men that when they found this young Child they were to let him know, so he could also come and worship the Child. Herod's only evil desire was to find this Child and kill Him. However, the Wise men were divinely warned by God in a dream not to tell Herod, and so they departed to their own country on a different route. Not long after this King Herod had all children 2 years and under murdered.
