Well...

 "A friend once challenged me to show her where Jesus talks about hell in the Gospels. Even a cursory read-through shows Jesus talked about it plenty. In fact, Jesus talked about hell more than any other person in the Bible. In Luke 16, he describes a great chasm over which “none may cross from there to us.” In Matthew 25, Jesus tells of a time when people will be separated into two groups, one entering into his presence, the other banished to “eternal fire.” Jesus doesn’t only reference hell, he describes it in great detail. He says it is a place of eternal torment (Luke 16:23), of unquenchable fire (Mark 9:43), where the worm does not die (Mark 9:48), where people will gnash their teeth in anguish and regret (Matt. 13:42), and from which there is no return, even to warn loved ones (Luke 16:19–31). He calls hell a place of “outer darkness” (Matt. 25:30), comparing it to “Gehenna” (Matt. 10:28), which was a trash dump outside the walls of Jerusalem where rubbish was burned and maggots abounded. Jesus talks about hell more than he talks about heaven, and describes it more vividly. There’s no denying that Jesus knew, believed, and warned about the absolute reality of hell."

 AI Summary FWIW

Key Details
  • The Central Theme: Across the Gospels (especially Matthew, Mark, and Luke), nearly every major sermon, teaching, and parable points back to the reality, arrival, and nature of God's kingdom. 
  • Opening Message: In Mark 1:15, Jesus summarizes His entire public ministry with: "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel". 
  • Common Misconception: Many people hear the claim that Jesus spoke about money more than anything else because 11 of His parables involve finances. However, scholars and resources like RELEVANT point out that money was typically used as an illustration or metaphor rather than the core subject—for comparison, food appears in even more parables
