Greek Commentary for Luke 11:24
Here Matthew 12:43 has και ουχ ευρισκει kai ouch heuriskei (present active indicative instead of present active participle). Luke 11:24-26 is almost verbatim like Matthew 12:43-45, which see. Instead of just “taketh” And Luke omits: “Even so shall it be also unto this evil generation” of Matthew 12:45. [source]
Ablative case after the comparative χειρονα cheirona The seven demons brought back remind one of the seven that afflicted Mary Magdalene (Luke 8:2). [source]
Rev., more literally, waterl ess. The haunts of evil spirits (Isaiah 13:21, Isaiah 13:22; Isaiah 34:14). By satyrs in these two passages are meant goblins shaped like goats, which were sacrificed to by some of the Israelites (Leviticus 17:7; 2 Chronicles 11:15); a remnant of the Egyptian worship of Mendes or Pan, who, under the figure of a goat, was worshipped by the Egyptians as the fertilizing principle in nature. In Isaiah 34:14, it is said “the screech-owl shall rest there.” This is rendered in margin of A. V. and in the Rev., Old Testament, the night-monster (Hebrew, Lilith )and by Cheyne (Isaiah) night-fairy. The reference is to a popular superstition that LilithAdam's first wife, forsook him and became a demon which murdered young children and haunted desert places. [source]
See on Matthew 11:28. [source]

Rend. wherefore: because of his faith in God's power and truthfulness. Ὃθεν , though occasionally in a local sense in N.T., as Matthew 12:44; Luke 11:24; Acts 14:26, is much more common in the logical or causal sense, wherefore, on which account. So in every other instance in Hebrews. In the local sense it would mean from the dead. [source]
As in Matthew 12:43; Luke 11:24. Old word for common and disappointing experience of travellers in the orient. [source]
Properly, demons, which Rev., strangely commits to the margin. See on Mark 1:34. See Isaiah 13:20-22; Isaiah 34:13-15. Also on Luke 11:24. [source]
