Jesus did not explicitly mention homosexuality in the Gospel accounts; however, he affirmed the biblical vision of marriage strictly as a lifelong union between one man and one woman, referring to the creation of male and female and the "two shall become one flesh." He also condemned sexual immorality broadly, which in the context of Jewish and biblical teachings included homosexual acts alongside other unlawful sexual behaviors. Jesus used the term "porneia," commonly translated as "sexual immorality," which covered all illicit sexual activities as defined by the Jewish law, including homosexual acts (Leviticus 18:22). His condemnation of sexual immorality implied disapproval of homosexuality according to the cultural and religious understanding of his time. Jesus condemned sexual sins as defiling to a person and excluded such behaviors from the kingdom of God unless forgiven.

In summary, Jesus upheld the traditional definition of marriage and implicitly condemned homosexuality by affirming the Old Testament sexual ethics and condemning sexual immorality without singling out specific acts. His focus was on reaffirming God's original design for sexuality and marriage as between one man and one woman.
