The Bible doesn't say - presumably more than 1 as it's a plural. People tend to assume there were 3 as there were three gifts (Matthew 2:11). But there could have been many wise men because each of them could have brought the same gift.

Why do you refer to the wise men as three?

Because the term "three wise men" or "the three magi" refers to the three wise men (or kings) mentioned in the Holy Bible as having come from the Orient to Bethlehem to see Jesus, and to pay him homage.Another answer:Scripture only specifies "three" regarding the gifts the wise men presented. The account in Matthew 2:1-16 never says how many MEN there were.
