If you're referring to the 3 wise kings who visited Jesus in the manger -- no one knows what they looked like or even if they really existed. If they did we don't know how many there were and they most probably weren't kings. And if they existed they didn't visit Jesus in Bethlehem where he was born, but later in Jerusalem. And, if there was a Jesus, recent thinking is that he was born in a cave or more likely someone's home, not a barn or stable. Oh yes, also, he wasn't born in the winter but in May-June. Celebrating his birth in winter was to blend it with Persian and pagan traditions to make it more acceptable to the pagans in the time of Constantine.

What gospel writer wrote about the three kings?
II Kings 3:10 & 13 Daniel 7:24 & 11:2 These are very obscure passages so I suppose you are asking about the 3 kings from the traditional Christmas song: to which the answer is there is no mention of 3 kings visiting Jesus birth in Scripture. Matthew 2:1 refers to the Magi (wise men) that visited from the East.

Who are the three kings?
The three kings are the men who have been known to many religions around the world including Christianity and catholic. They were visiters to the baby Jesus upon his birth in Christmas day. The Bible describes these Kings as "wise men" and they were probably men who studied the stars and phrophecy and were able to predict the birth of a new king. The Bible does not say there were 3 kings nor does it name them. It says the Kings or wise men brought 3 expensive gifts. Also, most scholars believe that the wise men did not visit baby Jesus Christ until a year or more later, which means they were not at the manger in Bethlehem. The Bible seems to support this as the wise men are not mentioned in the detailed account of the night Jesus was born, which is in the book of Luke.
