They knew

• Matthew 2:3 (ASV)

---

The wise men knew to expect Christ. These men not associated with the Jews knew a king would be born to them. First why were these foreigners more astute on this subject than the Jews them selfs? Second was the worship of God far more wide spread than just Jews in ancient times? Of the second fact there seems to be evidence in the bible like Balam and others suggesting it was.
