Matthew 21:42-43  

 Jesus says, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes’? Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit."  

Jesus directly applies Psalm 118:22 to himself, indicating that the Jewish leaders (the "builders") rejected him, and as a result, God’s favor would extend beyond them.

He was rejected by His own people.
