In that story about the murders I can see the point that murdering is wrong but I think it goes deeper and that killing is wrong. If you look at other quotes of Jesus he talks about how "killing is wrong" even in your quote he says "killing".
Quote:
Leviticus 24:17
“Whoever kills any man shall surely be put to death.”

To try and prove my point here are some quotes from Jesus from these 2 web pages.

He who rules his spirit has won a greater victory than the taking of a city.
Let anyone among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone.
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God
"John, John, why do you doubt, or why are you afraid? You are not unfamiliar with this image, are you? - that is, do not be timid! - I am the one who is with you (pl.) always. I am the Father, I am the Mother, I am the Son. I am the undefiled and incorruptible one. Now I have come to teach you what is and what was and what will come to pass, that you may know the things which are not revealed and those which are revealed, and to teach you concerning the unwavering race of the perfect Man. Now, therefore, lift up your face, that you may receive the things that I shall teach you today, and may tell them to your fellow spirits who are from the unwavering race of the perfect Man."
The kingdom of heaven is spread out across the earth, only people don't see it
"If you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?"
"While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew's house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples. When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, 'Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?' On hearing this, Jesus said, 'It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.'"
"Be careful not to do your 'acts of righteousness' before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. "
