There are many passages that Jesus spoke of hell. Since you ask for one, take this Mark 9:43-47

Jws believe that hell is the grave and they are right.They are responsible for much confusion on this subject by playing the words Greek verses Hebrew verses KJV.But turn to Revalations 20:12-15 here you will find in verse 13 that "death and hell delivered up the dead" and they were judged according to their works.Then those who were not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. Jesus did not make a lot of reference to hell because it's not the final destiny .The rich man was in hell while Lazarus lay in Abraham bosom.In the grave the rich man could see his destiny and was thirsty and tormented , yet what was to come was much worse.Lazarus was at rest because he had peace with God.

I am a christian and was chatting a Jehova's Witness (friend) recently. He said that they interpret the bible with the following differences to us:
1) The devil was banished from heaven to Earth (among men) as recently as 1914 (passages refer to certain events which pin-point this year). This happened when Jesus was made King of Heaven by God. He waged war on the devil and banished him.
2) When we die, we don't become a spirit. Rather our souls lie in a sleep until Jesus returns to judge us all, at which time we will be risen. We will be shown God's rules and it's our choice to follow them or not. Those who don't follow God's laws will be cast into the lake of fire with the evil spirits..etc
The good people will all then live forever in an Eden-like existence. (Without the snake I presume?!?!)
3) There is a gathering of 144,000 souls (very righteous people) who will be chosen to enter heaven and come back with Jesus to help judge and guide us. Our ancestors, and us, will be risen over a period of time until everybody is risen.
4) Another little point I really liked: When the Eden-like existence is here, people and, once-considered, wild animals will live in harmony. There's a mention of the child being able to pet the wild animals. Cool or what!
I found it all very interesting....and admittedly very promising, if you are a good person and willing to follow God.
I hope I got all this right...no offence to any J.W.'s if I didn't ;-)
My reference booklet is mentioned below...very interesting reading....mentions LOTS more also.

There are many passages whereas Jesus spoke concerning hell, I will give you one of the sciptures.
Saint Matthews-Chapter 23, verses 33. Jesus told us these words-------Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? Also read Marrhew:10, Verse 28.
Jesus then told us, fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. You may find these scriptures in the
Holy Bible--King James Version.

Matthew 13:41-43 "the Son of Man will send His angels, and they will collect out of His kingsom all who cause others to sin and all eveildoers. They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears ought to hear."
Matthew 25:41 : Then He will say to those on His left, "Depart from Me, you accursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels."
Jesus spoke Aramaic and Hebrew ('ge-ben-hinnom) and then remember the Hebrew bible was translated into Greek and Roman. This fiery furnace that Jesus talked about was Gehanna (geenna in Greek), the dwelling place of the devil and his demons. Gehanna is 'hell' in the Roman language.
By learning ancient words and their translations, 'ge-ben-hinnom is hell. Hell does exist. When Satan was tempting Jesus in the desert, after the 3rd temptation, Jesus told him to go back where he came from. Jesus knew that Satan was from hell.

Matthew 5:22 But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be liable to the judgment. And whoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be liable to the sanhedrin; but whoever shall say, Fool! shall be liable to be thrown into the fire of hell.
Matthew 10:28 And do not fear those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. But rather fear Him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
Matthew 16:8 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
There are several more. These are just a small handfull.

I don't know for sure if Jesus mentioned hell or the lake of
fire along with this, but He said there is a place of misery, where
there will be" weeping and gnashing of teeth."
Do you know how to scan quickly over words while looking for a
key word. You can find things faster that way. It might be in
the latter part of Revelation.

This was what my search came up with. But you must remember that Jesus was promoting God and His kingdom and who to get there. He wasn't promoting satan and hell.
Proverbs 15:11 Hell and destruction are before the LORD: how much more then the hearts of the children of men?
2 Jonah 2:2 And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice.

Luke 16:23
In hell, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side.
Matthew 5:22
But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, 'Raca, ' is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell.
Matthew 10:28
Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
Luke 12:5
But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after the killing of the body, has power to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him.
These are only a few, use the reference below to find more. God bless!
