Well, he certainly never told them not to.
I think he made it pretty clear that He doesn't endorse cruelty when he gave His speeches instructing everyone to love their enemies, do good for others, etc.

He was poor and a carpenter. He was a Jew in a place that was ruled by the Romans. He didnt own slaves lol.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
