Who were they? Where did they come from? What did they want?<\/p>\n

It is worth following in the footsteps of these scholars, who are often mistakenly referred to as three kings.
In his account of Jesus (the Gospel of Matthew), Matthew describes them as astrologers, in other words astronomers. They come from the East and are looking for the newborn King of the Jews.<\/p>\n

Matthew writes in his account into God’s word:<\/b><\/p>\n

After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, \u201cWhere is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.\u201d
