Did Jesus say my people die from a lack of knowledge? If so where is that located?

No it was not Jesus.
I think you are thinking of Hosea 4:6
"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee,.."

We have the knowledge within us. It is my belief we are all born with the knowledge. People die everyday in the name of God, because of their lack of knowledge. Blind faith will mislead you. I don't know for certain that Jesus said his people die from a lack of knowledge, but it makes sense to me.

Not found in the gospels, but in Hosea... also you misquoted- because no one dies from a lack of knowledge... but from REJECTING knowledge. Sadly most of the times when you hear that- the person quoting it stops just where you did- giving an incomplete quote... resulting in a misquote and much misunderstanding.

Hosea 4:6 - My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me; seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
This is one verse in a passage regarding God's judgement against the sins of the people and the priests. (KJV)

That statement is in the bible, but it was not Jesus who said it...

Jesus spoke through his prophets
Hosea 4:6-7 - My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou has rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.
Isaiah 5:13-14 - Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst. Therefore hell hath elnarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.

He said plenty about you pharisee sons of satan. Read the Bible and find out for yourselves. Surprising He put up with you people this long. Won't question the mysteries of His ways anyway.
