The Gospel of Matthew says that he learned of the birth of Jesus, some magicians, the East, went to find him.
The original greek the term used to describe these strange visitors is the "magician" and logic translation is "magicians" (plural of "magician").
Instead, oddly (read: cunningly) someone has invented the word abstruse of "wise men". For the pious translators, it was good to see you recommend that the individuals had recently presented first in the Old Testament to Jesus, in fact, he says: "You do not listen [...] to your diviners, nor to your dreamers nor to your sorcerers, nor to your sorcerers [...] predict these lies. " (Jer 27: 9-10) and also "Do not practice divination or sorcery". (Lv 19, 20) and finally in the Talmud we read: "Who learns anything from a magician deserves death." Instead, the beautiful Jesus is right here! The Savior has just presented to those who were considered the least worthy, the farthest: pagans, crooks, charlatans.
A wish then to this epiphany: We learn to call things by their name. If you are magicians who are magicians. Let us abandon this bad abitutide to sweeten the Gospel message. We take note of what Jesus, with his Epiphany (manifestation) wants to say. And instead of changing the words to make us drop a glove on us, changing attitudes and adeguiamoci us to Christ's message. A message so clear and light, which in reality is devoid of many convoluted because often they have been added We men in order to justify ourselves and with the effect of making it less understandable.
