What are the names of the three wise man said to have brought gift to the baby Jesus?
Wise men came from the East bringing gifts for the child Jesus.Three gifts were given: - 1. gold 2. frankincense 3. myrhh.That does not mean there were three wise men. The Bible states three gifts, not three wise men. The wise men would have travelled with a large group accompanying them on their long journey. There may have been 3 wise men or many more, the Bible does not tell us. It only states that 3 gifts were given to the child, Jesus.Matthew 2:11 tells us the wise men saw the "young child" not a baby. By the time the wise men arrived the Baby Jesus was now a young child. So it stands to reason the wise men had a long journey from the time when they first saw the "star" and by the time of their arrival at "the house" of Mary & Joseph. The wise men went to "to the house", not to the stable.The gift of Gold represented - a King (Jesus - King of Kings)the gift of Frankincense - a sweet smelling fragrance to Godthe gift of Myrrh - an ointment rubbed over a dead body - thissignified Jesus' death 33 years later.
