...The law of Moses... (Jews)

10 "If a man commits adultery with the wife of his neighbor, both the adulterer and the adulteress shall be put to death.
11 The man who lies with his father's wife has uncovered his father's nakedness; both of them shall be put to death

17 He who kills a man shall be put to death.
21 He who kills a beast shall make it good; and he who kills a man shall be put to death.

Deuteronomy 24
16 "The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor shall the children be put to death for the fathers; every man shall be put to death for his own sin.

...And what did Jesus have say about the law? (Christians)

Matthew 5:17-20
"Think not that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets; I have come not to abolish them but to fulfil them. For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the law until all is accomplished. Whoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

Where do you think the 'death penalty' law came from?

There it is... For all to see... ;)
