Jesus mentioned circumcision once, to illustrate a point, when talking with the Jews at : John 7:19-24
It was part of life as a Jew, in keeping with the Mosaic Law given to the nation of Israel through Moses, to separate them from the nations.(Leviticus 12:3) Jesus had been circumcised himself, when he was 8 days old, as was the requirement for every faithful Jewish male.(Luke 2:21)(Galatians 4:4)(Genesis 17:10-12)
The requirement for circumcision did not end until after Jesus' death, when he'd perfectly fulfilled the Mosaic Law, and so, ENDED it. (Colossians 3:11; Galatians 3:28) (Colossians 2:13&14)

Some Christian groups such as the Mormons are not allowed to circumcise. Christian Scientists are also opposed to circumcision completely.
This is completely untrue. The Mormon Church has not come out and said we cannot circumcise. To say they are not allowed, is completely untrue.

Can Jesus be a master of female circumcision?
Jesus was here to teach and he was celibate; he likely never saw a nude woman.

Female genital mutilation was not part of the culture he lived in so he would not.
