Caspar is behind the kneeling Melchior in The Magi visiting child Jesus, by Dieric Bouts. Matthew wrote that the Magi brought three gifts – gold, frankincense and myrrh.

[7] These teachers argue that students can use SparkNotes as a replacement for actually completing reading assignments with the original material, [8] [9] [10] or to cheat during tests using cell phones with Internet access.
[3] F. Dale Bruner notes that the word way often has theological overtones in Matthew and that a reference to verses such as Matthew 7:13 and 7:14 that discuss the way of salvation might be implied. [4] At this point the magi leave the narrative and do not reappear. There are many traditional stories about what happened to them after this.
