Matt 21:42 with Isa 28:16 and Ps 118:22.OT references to “the chief cornerstone” and “the stone which the builders rejected” found their literal fulfillment in the incarnation and death of Jesus Christ, according to Matt 21:42 along with Mark 12:10;Luke 20:17; Acts 4:11;Rom 9:33; Eph 2:20;1 Pet 2:6-8.He provided the only sure refuge for Israel who had made the mistake of relying on foreigners instead. At Jesus’ first coming, Israel rejected Him, thereby stumbling in literal fulfillment of this prophecy.
-- Thomas p.81

Thomas has classified this set of passages as a literal use of the OT in the NT.

Mt 21:42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
Isa 28:16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner [stone], a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
Ps 118:22 The stone [which] the builders refused is become the head [stone] of the corner.
