What did the wise man see?

The wisemen saw the north star that led them to Jesus.


How long after the birth of Christ did the wise men arrive?

The visit of the wise men is described in Matthew's Gospel, which tells of them indirectly causing the young family to flee from Bethlehem to Egypt and remain there until King Herod died. The story of the wise men could not have fitted into the nativity account in Luke's Gospel because in that story the young family travelled from Bethlehem to Jerusalem a few weeks after the birth of Jesus, and then returned peacefully to Nazareth in Galilee.According to Matthew, the wise men must have arrived a good deal less than two years after the birth of Jesus, because when Herod realised that they were not returning to him, he ordered the slaughter of all boys under two years old. Matthew does not provide any information to place the visit more accurately in relation to the birth of Jesus.


If you say Jesus possessed by the holy spirit are you in trouble?

No. Jesus was led by the Holy Spirit. You are in trouble if you speak blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Attributing the work of the Holy Spirit to Satan. Yes never joke around with the Holy spirit If you do you shall not be forgiven


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).


Who was Jesus sent to after he was arrested and what did they do to them?

A:In the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke), Jesus wassent to be tried by the Sanhedrin, the Jewish religious court, consisting of the high priest, all the chief priests and the elders and scribes (Mark 14:33). They tried him and then, in the morning, led him to be tried by the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate. The author of John's Gospel knew that the Sanhedrin would never meet in the middle of the night to try Jesus. In this account, Jesus was led to the house of Annas, father-in-law to Caiaphas, the high priest John 18:13). Annas interrogated Jesus and then sent him to the house of Caiaphas (John 18:24). He was then taken to the hall of judgement to be tried by Pontius Pilate (John 18:28).
