A couple of examples:

In the Old Testament:

Leviticus 19:11 New King James Version:'You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, nor lie to one another."

In the Old Testament:

John 8:44 NIV:"You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies."

In The Bible, lying is generally discouraged and seen as a sin. One of the Ten Commandments states "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor," which is often interpreted as a prohibition against lying. Proverbs 12:22 also states that "The LORD detests lying lips, but he delights in people who are trustworthy."

If Romans would crucify Christ would they lie in the Bible?

Romans did not write the Bible and therefore had no say in what was said about them or what they were reported as having said. The Romans had no opportunity to lie in the Bible, but the Christian authors did have that opportunity. So, the question should perhaps be whether the early Christians lied in the Bible, and arguably they did do so.

Where in the Bible does it say not to say amen to a lie?

The only verses in the Bible (OT) that say something in this vein are found in Deuteronomy 27, but the "lieth" in the verses all have to do with sleeping with someone other than a spouse and not about telling falsehoods. If there is a verse directly related to telling falsehoods and not saying "Amen," I cannot find it.
