Three stages required for a ritually correct CIRCUMCISION in JEWISH Talmudic law: (we are using modern authoritative and scholarly Jewish sources that the Talmudic practice is still valid today.)

A COMPARATIVE AND HISTORICAL STUDY OF THE JEWISH RELIGIOUS ATTITUDE TO MEDICINE AND ITS PRACTICE

"The method to be adopted is laid down thus: 'One excises the foreskin, [that is] the entire skin covering the glans, so that the corona is laid bare. Afterwards, one tears with the finger-nail the soft membrane underneath the skin, turning it to the sides until the flesh of the glans appears. Thereafter, one sucks the membrane until the blood is extracted from the [more] remote places, so that no danger [to the infant] may ensue; and any circumciser who does not carry out the sucking procedure is to be removed [from his office].' . . . The operation itself, then, consists of three distinct acts: the excision of the prepuce; the laceration of the mucous membrane covering the glans; and the sucking of the blood from the interior of the wound." Immanuel Jakobovits. JEWISH Medical Ethics: A Comparative and Historical Study of the JEWISH Religious Attitude to Medicine and Its Practice. New York: Bloch Publishing Company. 1959. pp. 193-194.

This study is clearly not speaking of 1 the standard established for modern Orthodox rabbis. The date of the publication is not 59 AD but rather 1959 AD.
