The wise men were not at the manger. They came later.
1) In Luke 2:21, Jesus was circumcised at 8 days old.
2) In Luke 2:22-24, Jesus was presented at the temple after Mary’s 40 days
of “uncleanness” had passed.
3) In Matthew 2:2, the wise men said they came after they saw the star
(“from the east” isn’t a short journey to Bethlehem).
4) In Matthew 2:11, the wise men visited the HOUSE where Jesus was.
5) In Matthew 2:14, Joseph took Mary and Jesus to Egypt (had to be at least
41 days after he was born).
6) In Matthew 2:16, Herod killed all the babies under 2, (“according to the time that he had ascertained from the
wise men”).
