Correct answer is A

The statement is part of Christ's Sermon on the Mount, specifically found in the Gospel of Matthew. This sermon is a significant teaching delivered by Jesus and is recorded in Matthew chapters 5 to 7. The statement can be found in Matthew 5:22 (RSV):

22 But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother[a] shall be liable to judgment; whoever insults[b] his brother shall be liable to the council, and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be liable to the hell[c] of fire.

In this portion of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus is addressing not just the external actions but also the internal attitudes of the heart. He emphasizes the importance of not only refraining from murder but also avoiding anger and contemptuous words. The broader context of this passage is about the ethical and moral teachings that Jesus gives to his disciples, teaching them about righteousness and the kingdom of God.
