If a child can be circumcised on the Sabbath This phrase highlights the Jewish practice of circumcision, which was a sign of the covenant between God and Abraham (Genesis 17:10-14). The Greek word for "circumcised" is "περιτέμνω" (peritemnō), which means to cut around. Circumcision was traditionally performed on the eighth day after a male child's birth, even if that day fell on the Sabbath. This practice underscores the importance of the covenant and the prioritization of divine commandments over Sabbath restrictions. Historically, this reflects the Jewish understanding that the law of circumcision, being older and more foundational, took precedence over the Sabbath law. so that the Law of Moses may not be broken why are you angry with Me for making the whole man well on the Sabbath?
