Yes the jews mutilated him. He did not have himself "circumcised" he was only 8 days old.
The jews and Romans also crucified him, so if you think that the fact that Jesus was "circumcised" means it was a good thing, you will love being crucified too.

It is safe to infer a "Yes" to this question, even though the Gospel record does not account for it. Jesus was a Jew in the First Century AD in Palestine, and would have been raised with Jewish customs. Even the poorest Jewish family could afford to have their sons circumcised on the eighth day after his birth!
The Bible does account for the routine sacrifices offered by Joseph and Mary at the Temple in Jerusalem, given when the Infant Jesus was about 40 days old. Since His earthly parents were obedient to make a trip of that kind, it is safe to assume they also practiced the ancient custom of circumcision, as the Law of God demanded.

Of course.
Luke 2:21 (King James Version)
21 And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

He was born and raised in a faithful Jewish home and Jewish law taught that every boy must be circumcised. So- yes

Yes.
Although, it was hardly his choice.
Christianity subsequently rejected circumcision at the Council at Jerusalem. (Acts 15 http://www.cirp.org/pages/cultural/christian.html#ACTS15 )
St. Paul, the apostle to the gentiles, taught parents that they should not circumcise their children. (Acts 21:25 http://www.cirp.org/pages/cultural/christian.html#ACTS21 )
In a reference to the old practices of genital mutilation, St. Paul warned Titus to beware of the "circumcision group." (Titus 1:10-16 http://www.cirp.org/pages/cultural/christian.html#TIT1 )

NOW THIS is an original question. Have not heard this one before and it surely deserves an answer! The thought of him having part of his little weenie cut off never occurred to any of us. What in the world made you think of this?
