"We Three Kings" was written by John Hopkins in 1857. Which of these statements from the hymn are indeed facts found in the Bible?
Answer They brought gifts
We don't know if they were from the Orient - only from the east, which could be Iran or Persia. The biblical passage never refers to them as kings but magi, or wise men. There is no indication from the biblical text that were three of them, only that they brought three gifts.
