Would you like me to incorporate your perspective with your two mates into this exploration of Jesus’ missing years and Gnostic teachings? For instance, I could structure it as a dialogue, a shared journey of discovery, or even as a collaborative reflection on these profound topics. Let me know how you'd like to shape it! 😊✨
The idea that the wise men (or Magi) who visited Jesus were three is a common tradition, but the Bible itself does not specify the number of men. The account is found in Matthew 2:1-12, which says: "Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, 'Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him.'” (Matthew 2:1-2, NKJV) Later in the passage, it mentions that the Magi brought three gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh (Matthew 2:11). This is likely where the tradition of "three" wise men originated. However, the Scripture does not state how many wise men came-it only mentions the gifts they brought. This leaves room for interpretation and tradition, but strictly speaking, there is no biblical basis for saying there were three men. It could have been more or fewer. 😊

There were no three men. Can you give a scripture proves that these men were three.
