How many times are the Magi mentioned in the Bible?
The magi were priests of the Zoroastrain religion, although most Englsih translations render the word as "wise men". Matthew refers to them visiting the baby Jesus, with three specific mentions. They were never mentioned in Luke's Gospel, where the author chose to refer to poor shepherds instead.
What were scientists called in Jesus's time?
There were no "scientists". The closest would be the magi who studied the stars and other phenomena. Scribes were learned men, but they were interested in writings, rather than what we now know as the sciences.
In which book of the Bible is the nativity found?
There is one story of the nativity in Matthew's Gospel. Joseph and Mary lived in a house in Bethlehem, where the virgin Mary conceived and had a child. Magi came following a star from the east, to bring gifts and worship Jesus. King Herod, afraid for his throne, sought to kill the baby Jesus, so Mary, Joseph and Jesus fled to Egypt until after the death of Herod, when they began to return to Bethlehem, but turned aside and migrated to Galilee.There is another nativity story in Luke's Gospel. Joseph and Mary lived in Nazareth in Galilee, but had to travel to Bethlehem for the census of Quirinius. In Bethlehem, they could not find lodgings and had to sleep in a stable, where Mary bore a child. Shepherds were told by angels of the birth, and came to worship Jesus. A few days after the birth, the young family travelled to Jerusalem and then returned peacefully to Nazareth.The modern Christian understanding of the nativity is a syncretism of the two gospel accounts.
When did Jesus Mary and Joseph's Flight into Egypt occur?
Matthew 2:1 suggests that the Magi arrived in Jerusalem not long after the birth of Jesus (γεννηθέντος). They went from Jerusalem to Bethlehem to see Jesus and then returned to the east without informing King Herod. "And when they were departed" (Matthew 2:13), Joseph was warned to flee. The textual evidence is that the flight supposedly took place shortly after Jesus was born.However, it is supposed that Herod knew less about than the magi knew and was not even sure how old Jesus was. He could be sure that any child who appeared to be under two years old could be the "King of the Jews" that he feared, and so he ordered all such children killed.The reference in verse 16, to children two years old, provides a partial opportunity for some to avoid overt conflict with the parallel account in Luke's Gospel. They suggest that the flight did not take place until Jesus was around two years old, but are unable to explain why the young family is still in Bethlehem or why they had never been to Nazareth before their return from Egypt (Matthew 2:23). Although not supported by evidence, this view says that the flight occurred when Jesus was around two years old.
