Discover the meaning of Barabbas in the Bible and his connection to Jesus’ trial. Explore how Leviticus 16, the scapegoat, and Yom Kippur reveal a deeper pattern of atonement, where the guilty are set free and the innocent is sacrificed during Passover in Jerusalem.

Explore the “scrutiny of the Lamb” during Passion Week—how Jesus was tested in Jerusalem between Palm Sunday and Passover. See the Exodus pattern of selecting, examining, and sacrificing the Lamb, and how every question confirmed His authority, innocence, and role as Messiah.

On the tenth day of Nisan, the Israelite family enslaved in Egypt took a lamb from their flock. There were conditions: one-year old, male, without defect. For the next four days, this lamb was to be inspected, scrutinized, and tested to be sure it was without spot or blemish. If it passed the test, on the fourteenth day of the month, the lamb would be slaughtered.
