gold frankincense & myrrh
Baby Jesus was given frankincense, gold and myrrh by the three wise men.
The three wise men brought gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh to baby Jesus.
No, the Bible never specifies three.We as a society have assumed this because of the three gifts that where given to Jesus. Therefore in most Christmas productions there are three wise men representing the whole of people who followed the star to Jesus.
There is no given name in the bible for the Three Wise Men. They were referred as "Magi" in the original Bible.
It's because of the biblical description of the three wise men who brought gifts to Jesus.
gold is given because it is valuable and because it is a symbol of kingship on earth
There were no oils given at all by any of the three wise men.
The Bible does not specify the number of wise men who visited Jesus. The idea that there were three comes from the three gifts they presented: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. However, there could have been more wise men in the group.
The wise men - the Bible does not say there were three of them - gave Jesus gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. Because there were three gifts, it is assumed that there were three givers. But one person may have given more than one gift, or several people may have given the same gift. We don't know.
Their particular names are not given in the Bible. They are simply called, 'wise men from the east' (Matthew 2.8)
The three gifts given by the wisemen were gold, myrh and frankincense.
