Biblical Magi

The Magi (/ˈmæ/ or /ˈm/; Greek: μάγοι, magoi), also referred to as the (Three) Wise Men or (Three) Kings, were, in the Gospel of Matthew and Christian tradition, a group of distinguished foreigners who visited Jesus after his birth, bearing gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. They are regular figures in traditional accounts of the nativity celebrations of Christmas and are an important part of Christian tradition.

According to Matthew, the only one of the four Canonical gospels to mention the Magi, they came "from the east" to worship the "king of the Jews". Although the account does not mention the number of Magi, the three gifts has led to the widespread assumption that there were three men. In Eastern Christianity, especially the Syriac churches, the Magi often number twelve. Their identification as kings in later Christian writings is probably linked to Psalms 72:11, "May all kings fall down before him".

Biblical account

Traditional nativity scenes depict three "kings" visiting the infant Jesus on the night of his birth, in a manger accompanied by the shepherds and angels, but this should be understood as an artistic convention allowing the two separate scenes of the Adoration of the Shepherds on the birth night and the later Adoration of the Magi to be combined for convenience. The single biblical account in Matthew simply presents an event at an unspecified point after Christ's birth in which an unnumbered party of unnamed "wise men" ("μάγοι") visits him in a house ("οἰκίαν"), not a stable, with only "his mother" mentioned as present. The New Revised Standard Version of Matthew 2:112 describes the visit of the Magi in this manner:

    Three Kings

    by: Dead Meadow

    Rusted out iron in a rust
    Coloured field,
    begging shadow, the sun will not yield
    Trying not to be missed
    to give more, leave less
    For those the open road, and those stayed behind,
    Comes longing in our own form
    defined
    Trying not to be missed
    they give more, leave less
    they give more... I guess
    Herein the house of truth
    lit so all can see,
    but I'm headin' out, yes, I'm giving in, to that old mystery
    As will pass the days
    Comes the narrow and narrowing way
    From the path you need not stray
    My Love, it's okay
    Trying not to be missed
    to give more, leave less
