But who rejected whom, first?

The Jews of course. Their leadership and people demanded that the sentence of Jesus be Crucifixion. Jesus was not put on this earth to be a founder of another religion, but to fulfill Gods promise to the Jews of delivering a Messiah.

ALL the leaders? ALL the people?

Well, I certainly don't disagree with that.

but to fulfill Gods promise to the Jews of delivering a Messiah.

As a Jew, I see it rather differently.

Not all the Jews.

First of all, weren't most of Jesus's followers Jews? And weren't all of the apostles Jews (with the exception of Luke)?

Also, according to scripture even some Pharisees warned Jesus that he was in danger:

Luke 13:31 The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee.

I don't think those Pharisees would've done that if they were so eager to see Jesus executed.
