His was a circumcision of the heart, not the flesh, making the ceremonial rites of the Old Testament law no longer necessary (Deuteronomy 10:16, 30:6; Jeremiah 4:4, 9:26; Acts 7:51; Romans 2:29).
Ang tunay na pagtutuli ay pagtutuli ng puso, hindi ng laman at dahil dito hindi na kinakailangan ang mga Kautusan sa Lumang Tipan para sa kaligtasan (Deuteronomio 10:16, 30:6; Jeremias 4:4, 9:26; Gawa 7:51; Roma 2:29).
