Jesus, the Christ, was reared in a Jewish family in Israel by Mary, his mother and Joseph, his step-father. Israel was a Jewish nation where [[Judaism]] was the prevailing religion. Jesus was [[circumcised]] on the eighth day in accordance with the [[Abrahamic covenant]].
The first followers of Jesus were Jews, since his ministry was in Jewish Israel. After Jesus ascended into heaven, an issue arose among his followers as to whether it was necessary for Christians to be circumcised in accordance with the Abrahamic covenant, as advocated by the [[Judaizer]] party.
