The Angels, the Shepherds, the Magi.
According to tradition the baby Jesus was visited by the three Magi.
the magi...the three wise men who visited baby Jesus I would have guessed it to be Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus.
No, Luke's Gospel does not mention the Magi in the Christmas story. The story of the Magi is found in the Gospel of Matthew.
three. and they each brought jesus a gift
The Bible does not say but traditionally it is said that three magi were present because three gifts were given to Jesus: gold, frankincense and myrrh.
The story of the magi is found in the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament of the Bible. It recounts the visit of the Magi, or the Three Wise Men, to the infant Jesus after his birth.
Jesus was actually two years old when the magi visited him. This is contrary to what a lot of Nativity scenes show today, which is that Jesus was a newborn. If you do not believe me, then look it up for yourself on biblegateway.com. Search for Matthew 2
There is no given name in the bible for the Three Wise Men. They were referred as "Magi" in the original Bible.
The three shepherds who visited Jesus were known as the Magi. They were a group of wise men from the East who had followed a star to Bethlehem. They were believed to be Persian astrologers and were known by the names of Gaspar, Melchior, and Balthazar. These three men followed the star and brought gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh to Jesus. They were the first to recognize Jesus as the King of the Jews and paid homage to Him.
It is about the Magi who visited Jesus after his birth with presents of gold, frankincense and myrrh. Although the Bible does say how many there were and does not call them Kings, the tradition of Three Kings has arisen.
They werenโt kings. Magi, wisemen, or astronomers. Also the Bible never says there were three.
