The Bible doesn’t tell us how many wise men actually went to see Jesus. Sometime between Jesus being born and today, people began to assume that there were 3 wise men merely because they brought three gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. In reality, there were most likely more than 3, but there’s no way to prove how many there actually were.
