Which of the four gospels in the Bible tell about the Three Wise Men?In: Christmas, New Testament |
[Edit] |
We read about them in Matthew chapter 2. Of interest though, is that tradition calls them "wise men." In reality, the Greek word used was "magi," akin to the word "magic." They were astrologers, fortune tellers, or magic practicers, practicers of what the Bible condemns.-(Dueteronomy 18:10-12)
Also, only the indefinate plural of the word "magi" appears. We really do not know how many there were. There could have been two, three, ten, etc. Again, tradition is responsible for distorting the account, by asserting that there were three.
