Best Answer
A:The author of Matthew's Gospel did not actually refer to 'wise men'. He called them magoi in the original Greek text of the Gospel, which translates to 'magi' in Latin and English. The magi were priests of the Zoroastrian religion practised in the regions of modern Iran and Iraq. The author of Matthew's Gospel was simply seeking to show that even the priests of this great religion would want to come and worship Jesus.
