The wise men - magi - that visited Bethlehem travelled there to see Jesus. Do not, The Bible does not tell us the number of wise men but three different gifts. ANSWER I'm pretty sure that the wise men visited Herod and that is why Herod knew about Jesus and wanted to kill him becasue he knew that Jesus was the true king.

∙ 12y agoI do not think that there is any reference in prophecy to the visit of the three wise men to baby Jesus. But their visit and worship of the baby Jesus only confirms the word of God and the wisdom of God:
1Corinthians 1.27. But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

∙ 8y agoThe Bible doesn't. It has simply become part of the tradition taught by many. The account is recorded in Matthew chapter 2. The number of magi, or astrologers (which was actually a profession condemned by the Law of Moses) was never mentioned in the Bible. There were 3 types of gifts which is where the number 3 came from. Because they were astrologers, that is why they followed the unknown star that eventually led them to Jesus. They were actually sent there by Herod in order to find the rumored King of the Jews that was foretold to appear around this time, so that Herod could have him killed. That is why many biblical scholars believe the star was actually placed above Jesus by the devil and not by God. However, the magi were given divine warning to not report back to Herod.
Interestingly, the time period when they appeared was a good deal of time after Jesus' birth. He may have been upwards to two years old by the time they arrived.

According to the Wikipedia: 'Although the account does not mention the number of people "they" or "the Magi" refers to, the three gifts has led to the widespread assumption that there were three men.'
