What does the Bible say about the rejection of Christ by Israel?

In the Scriptures, particularly in Luke 13:31-35, Jesus lamented over Jerusalem, acknowledging its history of killing the prophets sent to it. He stated, 'How often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!' This illustrates God's desire to save His people, yet highlighting their stubborn rejection of Him. The national rejection of Christ is a recurring theme in the Bible, as seen in various passages, where God expresses His grief over Israel's failure to recognize their Messiah.
