John 7:22

Context
7:22 However, because Moses gave you the practice of circumcision 1  (not that it came from Moses, but from the forefathers), you circumcise a male child 2  on the Sabbath.

1 tn Grk “gave you circumcision.”

2 tn Grk “a man.” While the text literally reads “circumcise a man” in actual fact the practice of circumcising male infants on the eighth day after birth (see Phil 3:5) is primarily what is in view here.
