(New Testament) the sages who visited Jesus and Mary and Joseph shortly after Jesus was born; the Gospel According to Matthew says they were guided by a star and brought gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh; because there were three gifts it is usually assumed that there were three of them イエスが生まれてまもなく、イエスとマリア、ヨセフを訪ねた賢人たち。マタイの福音書によると、彼らは星に導かれ、金と乳香、没薬を持ってきた。3つの贈り物があったので、通常は3人だったと考えられている。
