There is no mention of the Three Kings instead
Matthew 2:1 - "After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi [*] from the east came to Jerusalem." (* Footnote: Traditionally Wise Men). Matthew 2:7 - Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared. Matthew 2:16 - When Herod realized that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was furious, and he gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had learned from the Magi.
Magi, priestly caste in ancient Persia. They are thought to have been followers of Zoroaster, the Persian teacher and prophet, and they professed the doctrines of Zoroastrianism. By the 1st century AD, the magi were identified with wise men and soothsayers.
A:Not all the gospels are in the New Testament. Of the dozens of gospels that were written, the Church Fathers chose the four gospels that most closely represented the form of Christianity that they preached, and which they were willing to assert to have truly been written during apostolic times. Even the Gospel of Thomas, which may have been the earliest gospel, was omitted. Rather than select just one of the four, Irenaeus insisted there must be four gospels. This could be justified because Matthew places Jesus in an Old Testament context better than the others, Luke seems to place Jesus in a historical context and John is the only gospel that says that Jesus was divine.

The Book of Kells (a richly illustrated folio of the four Gospels).
The book of Kells is important because it is the illuminated manuscript Gospel book, which is in Latin. It contains the four Gospels of the New Testament.
Since the four New Testament gospels were all originally anonymous, we have nothing written by any of the twelve apostles, and therefore no direct evidence that any of them could read or write. Mark mentions Levi , son of Alphaeus as a tax collector, so presumably he could have been able to read and write. However, Levi did not become an apostle, so the author of Matthew's Gospel nominated Matthew as a tax collector in his stead. As the other gospels do not follow suit, and as there are other reasons to doubt that Matthew was a tax collector, it is unlikely that Matthew was literate.The apostle Paul, on the other hand, was quite literate and well-educated.
Of the 12 disciples chose by Jesus, the most mentioned is Peter, with 93 mentions in the four gospels and 63 in the remainder of the New Testament, (156 in all). And a close second is John, with 100 mentions in the four gospels and 30 in the rest of the New Testament, (130 in all)
