It appears Jesus saw the difference in body and soul and that the body could be killed but the soul would live.

Jesus said BOTH body AND SOUL can be destroyed. He most certainly did NOT say the body can be killed but the soul lives on.
Men can kill the body, but there is hope, called the resurrection. But in GEHENNA (which is NOT the grave, NOT hades, NOT Sheol, NOT where you go if killed by mere men) GOD HIMSELF will destroy not only the body but the soul as well. Gehenna is a garbage dump, and is used as a metaphor or symbol of the Judgment of God. The final judgment results in the permanent destruction of the wicked, thus the body AND soul are destroyed.
Physical death is a temporary situation. A saint can be confident that if this body is destroyed, they have another they will receive in the resurrection. Thus, they shall live on forever. But those facing the wrath of God have no such hope, they will be destroyed in the judgment.
