We mostly call the 3 “gentlemen” in Matthew 2 as Kings. But the Holy Bible calls them as “Wise Men”. This comes from the Greek root >> MÁGOI < < and this corresponds to a group who were members of the Persian Priests. They were specialists in Astrology and Stars.
I too prefer for the word “Wise Men” and I have some reasons for that belief.
Some one who looks for Knowledge will be basically a seeker. Their hunger and thirst for the new information cannot be unquenched.
