Footnotes
- 55 Grk “a man.” See the note on “male child” in the previous verse.
- 56 Grk “receives circumcision.”
- 57 If a male child is circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses is not broken. The Rabbis counted 248 parts to a man’s body. In the Talmud ( Yoma 85b) R. Eleazar ben Azariah ( a.d. 100) states: “If circumcision, which attaches to one only of the 248 members of the human body, suspends the Sabbath, how much more shall the saving of the whole body suspend the Sabbath?” So absolutely binding did rabbinic Judaism regard the command of Lev 12:3 to circumcise on the eighth day, that in the Shabbat 18.3; 19.1, 2; and Nedarim 3.11 all hold that the command to circumcise overrides the command to observe the Sabbath.
- 58 Or “made an entire man well.”
