What where the names of the 3 kings who brought a gift to Jesus?

Answer 1

AnswerKing Herod died in April 4 BCE, so this would be the latest possible date for the visit of the magi, or kings. however, the author of Matthew's Gospel implies that Jesus was born well before Herod's death, in which case it could have been much earlier.

However, John Shelby Spong (A Bishop Rethinks the Birth of Jesus) says that among people he knows in New Testament circles, the universal assumption is that the magi, or kings, were not actual people. Matthew was writing Christian midrash, and the three kings did not at any time bring gifts.

Answer 2

Unfortunately, the story of the three kings delivering gifts to the baby Jesus is just a story. It did not actually happen. We have much evidence of this. One such piece of evidence is that later in the Gospels, when Jesus begins his public ministry, the people of his town are angry because they watched Jesus grow up as another ordinary child, the son of a carpenter. But if they saw Jesus as just another ordinary child, then how could his birth alone have caused so much publicity? (Along with the story of the three kings, after all, is the story of Herod's massacre of infants.)

The Bible does not give us any names of the kings that visited Jesus Christ.
