Thank you for your participation.
The record does not say how many magi visited "the young child" at "the house" where the family was staying. There were no magi at the stable the night Jesus was born.
Matthew 2:11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
The gifts consisted of gold, frankincense, and myrrh, but we do not know how many individual gifts there were any more than we know how many magi there were.
How many wise men there were and when they arrived is a miniscule point in God's Word. But since it is so easy to read a single verse in the Bible and see that the traditional scene is incorrect, what does that tell us about churches that have nativity scenes with magi? Everytime I see such a scene in front of a church, I know that it is a church where people care more about tradition than they do about God's Word.
God bless you.
