Tradition speaks of three wise men riding camels coming to Jerusalem to worship Christ at his birth. But the Bible shows that things can not be that simple. Why would the arrival of only three men trouble king Herod and the whole city of Jerusalem? Mr. Smith shows where these men came from, how many there probably were, and why their arrival brought fear to the king and those in the city.
