How often does Jesus mention hell in the Bible?

Answer:

Answer:

In the original manuscripts - never.

The word "hell" is a catch-all word employed by the English translators to cover their translations of four different words. It's used to replace the originally inspired words "sheol" in the Old Testament; "hades," "Gehenna," and "Tartaroo" (or 'Tartarus') in the New Testament.

The word "hell" has virtually a melting pot of meanings and intents, according to the translators of the English Bible. And Jesus never actually said, "hell."
