What does the Bible say about the death penalty or capital punishment? | GotQuestions.org

Is the death penalty truly biblical? The Old Testament commanded capital punishment for crimes from murder to adultery, yet God showed mercy to sinners like King David. Why did Jesus stop the stoning of an adulterous woman, telling the Pharisees, “If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone”? Did that moment abolish the death penalty forever, or was Jesus exposing something deeper about human hypocrisy and sin? We examine the surprisingly clear answer from Genesis 9:6 and Romans 13, revealing how Christians should view the government's authority and the ultimate justice of a God who both instituted the death penalty and demonstrated infinite grace. Watch to understand the biblical balance of justice and mercy that shapes the Christian view on this critical, polarizing issue.
