Most Christians would quickly answer:
“Yes.”
The Bible says He was.
📖 Luke 2:21
But then I noticed something strange.
The Bible tells us WHEN Jesus was circumcised.
It tells us His age.
It tells us His name was officially given at that time.
But it never tells us WHO circumcised Him.
Was it Joseph?
A priest?
A religious elder?
Someone else?
For a book that records so many details about Jesus’ life, I find it fascinating that it leaves out the identity of the person who performed one of the earliest recorded events in His life.
Why?
Was it because the person didn’t matter?
Was the act itself more important than the individual who carried it out?
Or is this one of those details that history simply lost?
What do you think?
Who circumcised Jesus?
