The Israelites had a habit of stoning or otherwise attacking God’s prophets- even Moses, if I recall correctly, feared for his life at one point. Jesus being the final and greatest prophet (not to mention God) shouldn’t give us the expectation that everyone who met Him would listen to Him. If the people will reject God via His prophets, they can certainly reject God as prophet Himself.

Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the Lord.”-Jeremiah 31:21
 
The destruction of the temple marks the final schism between Judaism and Christianity. Prior to that, Christians were by and large viewed as Jews.
