Answer

Matthew: "Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men FROM THE EAST (Emphasis added) to Jerusalem, saying: Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the East, and are come to worship him" (ii, 1, 2).

By the "East" was meant Persia, Arabia or India, and from one of these countries the Magi are popularly supposed to have come.

If they came from Persia, India (?) or Arabia, they came not from the East, but from the South.
