Did the three wise men come from Ethiopia?
In the original Greek, Matthew's Gospel originally referred to magoi (Latin: magi, sing: magus), not wise men. The magi were priests of the Zoroastrian religion. If they came from anywhere, the magi would have come from Iran or perhaps Babylonia, but not from Ethiopia, which was pagan at the time. Matthew knew this, and tells us they came from the east (Matt 2:1).John Shelby Spong (A Bishop Rethinks the Birth of Jesus) says that among people he knows in New Testament circles, the universal assumption is that Matthew's magi, or wise men, were not actual people. If the story is not really true, then historically at least, the wise men did not come from anywhere.
