Which book of the Bible says that three wise men visited Jesus?

None. they only mention the gifts not the number of bearers.

You’re correct. It was a trick question. Too many people assume that three wise men visited Jesus, because Matthew says that they brought three gifts, although the Bible doesn’t say that there were three wise men. My dad is a Lutheran pastor, and he said that, while he was in seminary, he read that 15-18 wise men visited him.
