* - The ancient Greek text of Matthew mention: "Magi" in a Matthew chapter two. The Magi were (In antiquity speaking) a class of a heredity priesthood of the Medes (an Iranian peoples). Their religious beliefs and practices have been associated with ancient Iranian religious belief systems. The term "magi" also occurs in the Hebrew Scriptures predating the Christian-era too. In '''Jeremiah 39:3, 13''', it mentions an individual named Nergal-Sharezer who held the title of: Rab′mag (chief Magi), the footnote in 2013 revised edition of The New World Translation of the Holy scriptures states it also rendered alternatively as: “the chief magician (astrologer).” The term can broken up into two parts: Rab (Meaning: chief, think of title Rabbi) + Mag (Magi/magician). Since Nergal-Sharezer the Rab-Mag (Chief of the magi) was a Babylonian 'prince' (the term for an official of the Babylonian royal court) is therefore evident the term isn't therefore necessary strictly limited in either Hebrew-Aramaic or Christian Koine Greek languages to a particular Iranian religious chaste of antiquity.
