Hebrews 13:12

ESV - 12 So Jesus also suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through his own blood.

Jesus had to be crucified outside the city wall to fulfill prophecy. Jesus was the perfect lamb of God John 1:29. He did not come to do away with the law Mat. 5:17. And in keeping with the scriptures, the law required that the Passover lamb to be slaughtered outside the city walls Deut. 16:5-6. 

Hope this helps.
