What if we’ve been reading the beginning of this story wrong? What if it was the man questioning Jesus, not the demons?

Beyond the fact that the magi never met the baby Jesus, the true gift of the magi is the epiphany, the revelation, Christ wants us to apprehend: that to be seen standing (or kneeling) for something often means we will suffer.
