In this episode of Beloved & Blessed’s women’s Bible study, Kimberly Hahn unpacks the Third Sorrowful Mystery—Jesus’s Crowning with Thorns.

Taking up the story immediately after Jesus’s scourging, Kimberly walks us through His crowning with thorns, Pilate’s remark “Ecce Homo,” and the Jewish leaders’ demand for crucifixion.

In this episode you’ll discover what happened to Judas, the religious leaders’ true attitude toward Jesus, and why the crown of thorns hearkens back to Genesis

Rich with Old Testament background, this episode will deepen your meditations on the Third Sorrowful Mystery and help you discover why “bearing wrongs patiently” is this mystery’s fruit.
