Are the names of the 3 wise men mentioned in the bible?

Answer 1

A:The story of the wise men is in Matthew's Gospel in chapter 2. They are not mentioned in Leke's Gospel because the two gospels were written by authors who knew nothing of each other's work, so the author of Luke knew nothing of the wise men, just as the author of Matthew knew nothing of the shepherds who came to worship Jesus in Luke's Gospel.

Answer 2

Matthew chapter 2 tells the story of the wise men bringing gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.

Matthew 2:1 just describes the wise men or Magi in some translations as coming from the east to Jerusalem. Traditionally the view developed that they were Babylonians or Persians, but we really don't know.

Additional Answer:

Some scholars have noted the ruling, powerful people at the time of Christ was the Parthian Empire. They were located in Northwestern Persia (Iran) extending to Afghanistan east and Syria west. Others go as far as to link these peoples with the descendants of the lost 10 tribes of Israel. Since Christ was to come to all of Israel and even sent His Apostles to the lost tribes, this would be fiiting for the Wise Men (Magi) to be of the lost sheep of Israel.

Answer 3

The Gospel of Matthew briefly mentions their visit when Jesus was a small boy, but it doesn't say how many there were. It is believed that the inference of three men stemmed from the mention of three gifts.

Answer 4

A:No, the 'wise men' of Matthew's Gospel were actually magi, or priests of the Zoroastrian religion in Persia, and were not mentioned in the Old Testament. The author of Matthewintroduced them in order to show that even the priests of this great religion would want to worship the baby Jesus, as well as providing a reason for Herod to know about the birth of Jesus and therefore a reason for the sudden flight to Egypt.

The flight to Egypt allows Matthew to draw parallels between Moses and Jesus. The magi contribute to this Moses parallelism, as Jewish legends of Jesus' time told of the pharaoh received information from wise men.
