Where does the bible state that there were 3 wise men? Could have been 2 or 10--it doesn't say how many.
The Three Wise Men were - according to tradition - Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar.
The bible does not mention who was the first wise man to visit Jesus.
Certainly not, as the bible says, the wise men came from far away countries on camels.
The bible does not mention the names of the wise men.
Read Matthew chapter 2...The actual answer is no one really knows how many there were of the wise men or their companions for their numbering is not written. Its been considered for many decades that the number of gifts represent the number of wise men (three gifts), however that is conjecture.
It doesn't. In fact, the Bible doesn't even say how many there were.(Matthew 2:1-16)
the quantaliones, refered in the bible as the seventy wise men, they where really important and everyone had strong respect towards them.
No. However, many Jews were wise men.
There were 3 wise men.
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.
The bible never specifies the number of "wise men" or if more accurately translated as Magi or Astrologers Matt. 2:1-9
