Circumcision of Jesus

gospel · -5 · Bethlehem

On the eighth day he was circumcised and given the name Jesus, the name the angel had used before he was conceived. A short verse (Luke 2:21), but the tradition has never treated it as a small one: the one who gives the Law is placed under it.

The circumcision of Jesus is an event from the life of Jesus, according to the Gospel of Luke chapter 2, which states:And when eight days were fulfilled to circumcise the child, his name was called Jesus, the name called by the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

The name Jesus given; the child brought under the Law.
