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.
