According to the New Testament, J.C. was "the Lamb of G-d" (Jn 1:29,36)

whose bones may not be broken (Jn 19:36), a clear reference to the "Pesach Lamb" of Exod 12:46 and Num 9:12.

John 1:29:26
(29) The next day John seeth J.C. coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. (36) And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!

John 19:36
For these things were done, that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.

Torah directs that the Pesach lamb is not to be offered as a sin sacrifice. It was a memorial offering. The appropriate time for a sin offering would have been on Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement)

Numbers 29:11 Refers to an individual sin-offering.
(11) One kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the sin offering of atonement, and the continual burnt offering, and the meal offering of it, and their drink offerings.

Leviticus 16:15 Refers to a community sin-offering.
(15)Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood inside the veil, and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it upon the covering, and before the covering;

Torah requires that the Pesach lamb was to be slaughtered and it's blood placed on the door-posts and lintel of the doors of the house, it's meat had to be roasted and eaten, and whatever wasn't consumed by the time they had to leave their houses, had to be burnt and destroyed.

Exodus 12:6-10
(6) And you shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month; and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.

(7) And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, in which they shall eat it. (8) And they shall eat the meat in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.

(9) Eat it not raw, nor boil with water, but roast it with fire; its head with its legs, and with its inner parts.

(10) And you shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remains of it until the morning you shall burn with fire.

Of course, we know there is no such claim that this happened with J.C.

Romans 6:10 – For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

Hebrews 9:12
Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

Hebrews 10:10,18
(10) By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of J. C. once for all.

(18) Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

Torah requires that the Pesach sacrifice, a male-goat, be offered on an individual (per household) basis, not as a community offering.

Numbers 28:22
And one goat for a sin offering, to make an atonement for you.
