Answer 2

The number and names of the magi are pure tradition. The Bible does not say how many. And it does not name them either. And they were not "wise men." Neither were they kings. They were magi - Babylonian astrologers.

The Catholic newspaper Kirchenzeitung für das Bistum Aachen admits: “The Three Holy Kings are not referred to as such in the Bible. Starting in the sixth century, the wise men were understood to have been . . . three kings. . . . As to the number of astrologers, . . . Matthew gives no details. . . . In the ninth century they first appeared under the names Gaspar, Melchior, and Balthasar.” Furthermore, the Catholic reference work Lexikon für Theologie und Kirche notes that the Greek word ma′goi does not mean kings but, rather, “ones having secret knowledge of astrology.” Justin Martyr, Origen, and Tertullian each understood the word to mean “astrologer.” Modern Bible translations also use “astrologers” at Matthew 2:1, 7.—The Living Bible; An American Translation.

Answer 3

They do not have names

Answer 4

According to what appears to be remote viewing these three individuals were like mystics,teachers and or guardians to test the so-called messiah or prophet with questions to see if he was as claimed to be.I believe at this time he was old enough to talk possibly around the age of five.They may have even followed his family since the time of his birth. I believe one question was what bird is often mistaken for a moth? Regardless of their names even Jesus had given his disciples new names to signify rebirth or a new authority.He had also made references to the Hosts and the Great hosts which may have been angels or watchers that were with or spoke thru these people.This can also have a negative aspect as in the fallen angels or watchers as well.

Answer 5

They did so have names, they were Caspar, Melchior, and Balthasar. They are said to be from Persia, Syria and Ethiopia although I am not certain which came from where

Answer 6

Caspar, Melchior and Balthazar are the three names you are looking for...Try searching for the Epiphany on your web browser it will give you info.on The Feast of The Epiphany or The Three Kings.

Answer 7

The story of the wise men is told in Matthew chapter two. It does not tell how many there were. It has been traditionally assumed there were three because of the three gifts, though it could have been only 2 or more than three.

Answer 8

It's only important to know that the three wise men were referred to as the three Magi during that time, and that Magi means Magician. Isn't it strange how words can lose their true meaning when it comes to religion?

Answer 9

The Bible says that they came from the east and it took them a couple of years to make the trip by foot and camel.

You figure!

Answer 10

Names were not important at the time. The fact that they were three dudes dressed weirdly was all anyone needed to know. How does anyone know that they were really kings? And don't say the bible said so, I want solid prrof that they were really three kings from the Orient.
