'Thorns' in the Bible

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

And others fell upon the thorns; and the thorns grew up and choked them:

And he that was sown among the thorns, this is he that heareth the word; and the care of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.

And they platted a crown of thorns and put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
