5 The Three Kings
No doubt most of us have heard the Christmas Carol “We three kings of Orient are;” but in fact, the three “kings” are never referred to as Kings in the Bible. Additionally, they are not referred to as a group of three. The only reference to the number ‘3′ is the number of gifts they carried. [Matthew 2:7-11]
三列王
毫無疑問,我們大多數(shù)人都聽過耶誕頌歌“東方三賢士”;但事實(shí)上這三位“王”在圣經(jīng)中從未被提過是“國王”。另外,他們也沒有被提及是三人成組的,唯一提及的關(guān)于他們的數(shù)字“3”是他們攜帶的禮物。[馬太福音 2:7-11]
