    Jesus did have a concept of hell. His ideas like other Jewish teachers developed post-Hellenism and merged ideas from Greco-Roman ideas of afterlife with Jewish theories of sheol. His parable on Lazarus and the rich man shows some intersection there.

    But yes, the theory of eternal conscious torment,at least how moderns understand it, was not a thing as I understand it.
