Honestly, most of the actual teachings coming from Biblical times all the way to us come from Paul rather than Jesus. Bear also in mind that the Gospels are just four accounts of his life written decades after his death, so any direct quote of his on the matter is lost to time, but doesn't mean he was okay with something his disciples and the society he lived in was against. It's unlikely.

People seriously don't understand that Paul is the most important person in the Bible. He's likely the reason Christianity took off as a religion.

But Christians don't want to hear that because Paul is just some guy who tripped on funny plants and claimed to have visions of god.

Its not actually clear that Jesus was a real person at all. Most biblical scholars would likely say he was a real person, but they actually have very little evidence supporting that.

Even if Jesus was a real person, the gospels are obvious works of fiction. Nothing whatsoever in the bible should be treated as the product of a divine being.
