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.


Did angel Gabriel announce the coming of Jesus only to Mary?

------------------------ In Matthew's Gospel, the angel announced the coming of Jesus only to Joseph. Given the context, the account would not make sense if he also announced the coming of Jesus to Mary. In Luke's Gospel, the angel Gabriel announced the coming of Jesus only to Mary. Given the context, the account would not make sense if he also announced the coming of Jesus to Joseph. This difference reflects the independence of the two nativity stories from each other.
