READ MOREThe wise men brought three gifts to Jesus: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. These three gifts are significant to who Jesus is.
READ MORENowhere in the Bible does it say how many wise men visited Jesus. Tradition says three, but that’s based upon the number of gifts that were given to Jesus by the wise men. Whether these wise men, or magi (Greek word magoi rendered as astrologers), were kings or people from the courts of Babylon; whether they were 3 or 300, the Bible does not say.
READ MOREMost scholars believe Jesus was approximately 2 years old when the wise men came. Several things point to this. Two verses, in particular, can be used to help in determining the answer: Luke 2:16 and Matthew 2:11.
READ MOREThe year Jesus was born is around 5 or 6 B.C. Nowhere in Scripture, nor in secular writings, is there given an exact date. However, based upon the timeline of the census when Quirinius was governor of Syria (Luke 2:2), which we know was 8 B.C., and Herod’s death (Matthew 2:19), which we know was around 4 B.C., we can reasonably determine that Jesus was born approximately 5-6 B.C.
