O Christ, the Sun of Righteousness, shine graciously into our hearts that, walking as children of light, we may glorify thee before men, and, being always ready to obey Thy call, may, in our place and measure, hold up the light of life to them that sit in darkness and the shadow of death. Hear us, O Lord, for Thy great mercies\u2019 sake, who livest and reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, now and for ever. Amen.<\/p>\n

Yes, there are wizards in the Bible. ‘Wizards’ is a more accurate translation of ‘magoi’ than ‘wise men’ (or ‘kings’), as it conveys the magical connotations of the Greek word<\/p>\n
