John 7:21-22
New English Translation
21 Jesus replied,[a] “I performed one miracle[b] and you are all amazed.[c] 22 However, because Moses gave you the practice of circumcision[d] (not that it came from Moses, but from the forefathers), you circumcise a male child[e] on the Sabbath.

- John 7:21 tn Grk “Jesus answered and said to them.”
- John 7:21 tn Grk “I did one deed.”
- John 7:21 sn The “one miracle” that caused them all to be amazed was the last previous public miracle in Jerusalem recorded by the author, the healing of the paralyzed man in John 5:1-9 on the Sabbath. (The synoptic gospels record other Sabbath healings, but John does not mention them.)
- John 7:22 tn Grk “gave you circumcision.”
- John 7:22 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.
