Nothing in canonized scripture names the magi; there were probably far more than three.

What are the three wisemen's names from the biblical story?

The wise men are called the Magi or the three kings.


Did anyone else give gifts to baby Jesus?

According to the biblical account, the three wise men from the East brought gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh to baby Jesus. These gifts are often interpreted to symbolize Jesus' kingship, divinity, and eventual sacrifice.


What are the names of the three wise men that came to see the baby Jesus?

The "answer" later, first a few points a) the Bible just calls them "wise men" - not "kings". b) the Bible does not say there were three. That is a conjecture based on there being three gifts - gold frankincense and myrrh c) the Bible does not name them. But, tradition in Christianity says they were Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar.


Who brought myrrh?

One or more of the magi. Their names are not recorded (the notion that there were three of them rather than some other number and the names Caspar/Gaspar, Melchior, and Balthazar came along much later).


How old was Jesus when the three wise men visited him Who else visited Jesus alone with the wise men at the home of Mary and Joseph Where is it found in scripture?

Matthew 2:1-12 Though it doesn't specify the number of wise men who visited, nor the age of Jesus (it is assumed he was between the ages of newborn to 2 years of age, depending on with whom you speak.) It is assumed from the three gifts, gold, frankinscence and myhrr, that there were three Magi (wise men; magicians?), in later traditions called kings, and even given names. **It should be noted that they first approached Herod, who then ordered the deaths of all infants under the age of three.

Which king took gold to jesus?

A) The bible just says they were "wise men". B) Their names are not given. So, we cannot say who gave him gold beyond the general "the wise men". We don't even now how many they were, that is not given in the bible either. Tradition says they were three, and that their names were Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar, but there is no evidence to support this. The fact that there were three gifts led people to suppose there were three givers - but if several gave gold then there could have been any number of them. All we know for definite is that they were wise, that there was more than one, that they came from the East and that they gave gold, frankincense and myrrh.
