And he shall take the two goats, and present them before the LORD at the
door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and the
other lot for the scapegoat.
And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the LORD's lot fell, and offer
him for a sin offering.
But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall be presented
alive before the LORD, to make an atonement with him, and to let him go for
a scapegoat into the wilderness.
[Leviticus 16:7-10 KJV]
Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom
will ye that I release unto you? Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?
The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that
I release unto you? They said, Barabbas.
Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called
Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.
Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he
delivered him to be crucified.
[Matthew 27:17,21,22,26 KJV]
