In Jewish custom for the Passover, a lamb was sacrificed for the Passover. Another Jewish tradition relevant to the Passion story occurs at Yom Kippur, when one lamb or goat was killed for our sins and one, the 'scapegoat', had the sins of the people symbolically transferred to him, after which he was chased away. In both cases, the lamb that was killed had to be perfect, with no broken bones.
Bishop Spong has noted that Mark described the scene that was the perfect parallel for the scapegoat being selected. Although there is no evidence that there was a custom of releasing a prisoner at the time of the Passover, Pontius offerred the mob the choice of Jesus, the Son of the Father, or Barabbas, whose name means "son of the father". By choosing the wrong "son of the father", Barabbas, to escape, the Jews had condemned Jesus as the symbolic sacrifice.
John's Gospel made further use of symbolism in describing Jesus as the lamb of God. In this account, when the Roman soldiers wanted to speed up the deaths of the three on the crosses, they broke the legs of the other two in the normal way, but only speared Jesus, ensuring that he had no broken bones and thus fulfilling the requirement for the Pascal lamb. John twice says, "Behold the Lamb of God" in reference to Jesus.

Why could Jesuses sacrifice link to sacrificing a lamb during the Jewish Passover festival?
John the Baptist calls Jesus the 'lamb of God'. - Joh 1:29. Here Jesus is being directly likened to the passover lamb. The passover lamb had to be perfect with out blemish. Jesus was born without sin, he lived a sinless life. The passover lamb had to die and it's blood was shed to save Israel's first born from death. In the same way it was necessary for Jesus to die as payment for sin. The lamb's blood had to be painted on the the door frames to show God the people were trusting Him for salvation. Salvation is the same today through faith in Jesus and His death as the payment for our sin.

What is the connection between the Passover of the Hebrews in Egypt and the crucifixion of Jesus?
The first connection is that the synoptic gospels tell us that the Last Supper of Jesus was the Passover feast, held at the start of the Passover holiday; Jesus was crucified the next day. John's Gospel alters this, to say that Jesus was crucified on the day of Preparation for the Passover feast. John therefore omits the description of the Last Supper, replacing it by Jesus washing the feet of the disciples.The synoptic gospels draw allusions to the lamb of the Passover, beginning with the story of Pontius Pilate releasing Barabbas instead of Jesus. By having Jesus sacrificed on the day of Preparation, John's Gospel can draw even closer parallels to the Jewish Passover, with Jesus as the sacrificial lamb, which must have no bones broken (John 19:33).
