An ApplicationMT 2:2-3 was not why these men earned the title "wise men." It was their correct interpretation of the star, and their obedience in MT 2:12. They brought 3 gifts (MT 2:11) but the number of wise men was not recorded.

Connect the DotsNotice Jesus is referred to as a child now (MT 2:11) not a baby (LK 2:12), even in the original Greek, and His family had their own house by this time, they weren't still stuck in that stable. He could easily have been 2 years old here, as we'll read in the next story. / Interesting trivia that Matthew was written to Jews and highlights Gentiles visiting. Luke was written to Gentiles and highlights Jews visiting.
