Which gospel specifically mentions wise men visiting the infant Jesus?

• A. Luke
• B. Mark
• C. Matthew
• D. John

Answer: (C)

The event of wise men visiting the infant Jesus appears in the Gospel of Matthew. In Matthew 2:1-12, Magi from the East arrive in Jerusalem, follow a star to Bethlehem, and present gold, frankincense, and myrrh to the child, recognizing him as king. This moment underscores Matthew’s portrayal of Jesus as the anticipated king and signals Gentile acknowledgment of him.

The other Gospels tell different infancy or early-life details or skip them altogether: Luke focuses on shepherds and angels and the humble circumstances of Jesus’ birth, not the Magi; Mark starts with John the Baptist and Jesus’ public ministry rather than birth stories; John goes even earlier in a cosmic, theological prologue rather than a birth narrative.
