    In the Christian story, the Magi are the wise men who followed a star and brought gifts to the baby Jesus. English speakers also call them the Three Wise Men, and some churches say the Three Kings.

    In the Christian story在基督教的故事裡, the Magi這些東方三博士(Magi)are就是the wise men那些智者who followed a star他們跟隨一顆星星and brought gifts並帶著禮物to the baby Jesus去見剛出生的耶穌;English speakers說英文的人also call them也稱他們為the Three Wise Men三智者, and some churches有些教會say稱他們為the Three Kings三王

    The Bible names three gifts — gold, , and — so later tradition said there were three visitors and even gave them names. Though actually, the Gospel never says there were three men, and never calls them kings.

    The Bible聖經names列出了three gifts三樣禮物— gold, frankincense, and myrrh黃金、乳香和沒藥— so所以later tradition後來的傳統said there were three visitors就說有三位訪客and even gave them names甚至還給了他們名字;Though actually不過其實, the Gospel福音書never says從沒說there were three men有三個人, and never calls them也從沒稱他們為kings王
