Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerses 24, 25. - When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out. And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. The devil, expelled for a season, watches his opportunity and quickly returns; the exorcist-physician was powerless without the aid of Christ to accomplish anything more than a half-cure; the relapse, as we shall see, was worse than the original malady. The imagery of the "dry place" through which the devil walked (luring his temporary absence from the afflicted soul, was derived from the popular tradition that spirits of evil frequented ruins and desert places (see the Talmud, 'Treatise Berachoth,' fol. 3, a; and Tobit 8:3).
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(24-26) When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man.--See Notes on Matthew 12:43-45. Here the only variations are (1) the omission of the house being "empty," and (2) of the application of the parable to "this wicked generation."
