'Thorns' in the Bible

By their fruits ye shall know them. Do men gather a bunch of grapes from thorns, or from thistles figs?

and others fell upon the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them;

And he that is sown among the thorns this is he who hears the word, and the anxious care of this life, and the deceit of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

and having woven a crown out of thorns, they put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and, bowing the knee before him, they mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!

And another fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.

And others are they who are sown among the thorns: these are they who have heard the word,

And they clothe him with purple, and bind round on him a crown of thorns which they had plaited.

for every tree is known by its own fruit, for figs are not gathered from thorns, nor grapes vintaged from a bramble.

and other fell in the midst of the thorns, and the thorns having sprung up with it choked it;

But that that fell where the thorns were, these are they who having heard go away and are choked under cares and riches and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

And the soldiers having plaited a crown of thorns put it on his head, and put a purple robe on him,

but bringing forth thorns and briars, it is found worthless and nigh to a curse, whose end is to be burned.
