Go to google and type in "Zoroastrianism" and "Magi" or "three wise
men" for starts.
Then type in "Judaism" and "Zoroastrianism".
Then type in "Judaism" and "Ahura Mazda".
The word "Pardes" is old Persian Zoroastrian word for "Garden". Jesus
uses that with the Thief on the
Cross, in the original Aramaic version and Greek versions of the New
Testament. What is translated into
English as "Paradise" is "Pardes" in the original Greek Bible. Pardes
is not Greek, but an old Farsi word
meaning "Garden".
There is a LOT on the Internet itself about the influence of
Zoroastrianism upon Judaism (specifically the Pharisee
sect). Its all there.
