I've wondered this for a long time. When I was a kid I remember the song where it says, "We three kings of Orient are..." I related the word "Orient" to "Oriental," and assumed that they were Chinese. Later I learned that "Oriental" simply means "eastern." Therefore, the wise men came from the east to see Jesus. It doesn't necessarily mean they were from China. I'm sure it's possible, of course, but most likely they were from Arabia, Persia, or Asia Minor.
What else can I help you with?

According to the bible how many wise men are there?
no one really knows how many wise men there were, most people think there were 3, but the Bible says that "the wise men then brought 3 gifts of frankinsence, gold, and myrr." the Bible says that they brought 3 gifts, so in theory, it makes it sound like there were 3 wise men, but there could have been just 1, mabe 2, mabe 100, no one knows. people also think that the wise men came to visit Jesus on the night that he was born, but this is not true, the Bible says that the wise men came to visit him when he was at least a month old or a year old. and if you dont believe what im saying now, you can just go and read your Bible, cause EVERYBODY knows that the Bible is pure truth. ;)
