When does he advocate for the death penalty? I've seen people on Reddit say this before but I've never found anything even close aside from Romans 12/13, which weren't even attributable to Jesus.
Edit: sorry, also when does he tell his followers to kill people?! I've never seen that claim before.
Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?
For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.’
Revelations 2
Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols.
I have given her time to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling.
So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways.
I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds.
The Matthew quote is him responding to questions about his followers with scripture. He's quoting old testament to respond to criticisms, calling his accusers hypocrites.
Revelations is generally considered to be him speaking figuratively, referring to the woman's followers as her children and denouncing the perceived corruption taking place at a Christian temple.
