How did the people of Jerusalem fulfil prophecy when they condemned Jesus?

Actes 13:27 (NEG79)

27 Car les habitants de Jérusalem et leurs chefs ont méconnu Jésus, et, en le condamnant, ils ont accompli les paroles des prophètes qui se lisent chaque sabbat.

Jesus was convicted and condemned as a blasphemer (see Matthew 26:62–66; Luke 22:66–71). Despite the regular reading and hearing of Scripture, the Jews in Jerusalem did not understand how prophecies relate to Jesus (Isaiah 53:3; Psalm 118:22), and they did not accept that he was the Messiah.1 When they killed Jesus, they subsequently fulfilled the prophecies about him.
