Christ's own "received Him not"
They didn't receive the apostolic message either.
The prohecy would have been fulfilled had Peter's message been accepted, but...
Acts 13
45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.
46 Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.
47 For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.
48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.
Now, Jewish people come to Christ just as the gentiles, by obeying the Gospel proclaimed to the cosmos.
One day He will come again (to the Mount of olives) and once more take up His quarrel with his people and deliver them from their self-destruction in spite of themselves (Zechariah 14).

For [it is] evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood. -
A few came to Him. These constituted the infant Church which also brought the message to the Gentiles to fulfill the abrahamic covenant.
