A.T. Robertson Commentary Luke 11:24

"The unclean spirit when he is gone out of the man, passeth through waterless places, seeking rest, and finding none, he saith, I will turn back unto my house whence I came out." — Luke 11:24 (ASV)

And finding none (κα μη ευρισκον). Here Mt 12:43 has κα ουχ ευρισκε (present active indicative instead of present active participle). Luke 11:24–26 is almost verbatim like Mt 12:43-45, which see. Instead of just "taketh" (παραλαμβανε) in verse 26, Matthew has "taketh with himself" (παραλαμβανε μεθ' εαυτου). And Luke omits: "Even so shall it be also unto this evil generation" of Mt 12:45.

Than the first (των πρωτων). Ablative case after the comparative χειρονα. The seven demons brought back remind one of the seven that afflicted Mary Magdalene (Luke 8:2).
