'Thorns' in the Bible

By their fruits you will get knowledge of them. Do men get grapes from thorns or figs from thistles?

And some seeds went among thorns, and the thorns came up and they had no room for growth:

And that which was dropped among the thorns, this is he who has the word; and the cares of this life, and the deceits of wealth, put a stop to the growth of the word and it gives no fruit.

And they made a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and put a rod in his right hand, and they went down on their knees before him, and made sport of him, saying, Long life to the King of the Jews.
