John 7: 21 - 24.
I did one work, and you all marvel. Moses therefore gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the law of Moses should not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath? Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment."
These words were spoken by Jesus about 1.1/2- 2 years into His earthly ministry. Notice Jesus said Moses gave them circumcision, and then said it came from the forefathers. This is exactly correct. The Jews only know their laws from Moses giving them these at Mount Sinai. Circumcision was reintroduced at that time along with the rest of the Jewish Laws. When the children of Israel were in Egypt, they did not practice their religion like they do now. This re-instating the Law will take place again when Joshua circumcises them at the Jordan River before the crossing. Circumcision only affects one part of man's body, yet when Jesus healed the man on the Sabbath, He healed the whole person.
