The author of Matthew's Gospel did not refer to wise men, he referred to magi. The magi were priests of the Zoroastrian religion of Persia. The allusion to wise men has two bases: the first is the name of their god, Ahura Mazda ("Wise Lord") and the second is that the magi were widely respected throughout the Middle East for their learning and wisdom.Initially, Matthew's intention was to show that even the priests of this great religion would want to worship Jesus. Eventually, the Zoroastrian connection became less important and most English-language translations began to translate magi simply as "wise men".
