There are no direct quotes from Jesus specifically about music in the Bible. The Gospels do not record Jesus giving explicit teachings or instructions about music or musical instruments[1][2].
Despite the fact that there is little evidence about Jesus' musical involvement in worship, the Gospels mention a moment where Jesus and his disciples sang a hymn after the Last Supper before going to the Mount of Olives (Matthew 26:30, Mark 14:26). This event indicates that Jesus participated in the Jewish tradition of singing psalms during Passover.[2].
While Jesus didn't provide specific guidance on music, the early Christian church clearly valued music as part of worship. The apostle Paul encouraged believers to sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs (Ephesians 5:19, Colossians 3:16). These passages emphasize using music for teaching, admonishing one another, and expressing praise to God[2][3].
While Jesus didn't explicitly mention music, his engagement in singing hymns and the early church's embrace of music in worship imply that it was regarded as a meaningful component of spiritual life and a way to demonstrate faith.
