I suppose in the story of this puzzle I get to be Jesus, which is not a bad deal!

Balthasar can't be telling the truth & Caspar & Melchior can't be lying as these possibilities do not satisfy the conditions of the problem. Ergo, Balthasar is lying; he brought Myrhh, Caspar & Melchior are telling the truth; Caspar brought Frankincense, & Melchior brought Gold.

Lol, I realize that I am probably late but here is my solution Balthasar has Myrrr Caspar has Frankincense Melchior has Gold Explanation Conditions: 1. Every person’s statement is either True (T) or False (F) 2. Caspar and Melchior’s statement are related. That is, If Caspar is True, Melchior must be true and if Caspar is false, Melchior must me false 3. There is at least one truth and one false Analysis There are 8 different possibities. TTT, FTF, TFF, FFT, FTT, TTF, TFT, FFF. With the conditions, only two permutation are possible I.e. FTT or TFF. If FTT is correct then Balthasar has Myrr, Casper has Frankincense and Melchior has Gold and if TFF is correct Balthasar has Gold, Casper has Gold, and Melchoir has Myrr. The only true answer is FTT
