SEV Biblia, Chapter 22:22
Y oyendo esto , se maravillaron, y dejándole se fueron.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 22:22
Verse 22. When they had heard these words, they marvelled] And well they might-never man spake like this man. By this decision, CAESAR is satisfied-he gets his own to the uttermost farthing. GOD is glorified-his honour is in every respect secured. And the PEOPLE are edified-one of the most difficult questions that could possibly come before them is answered in such a way as to relieve their consciences, and direct their conduct. See L'Evangile Medite, and see my discourse entitled, The Rights of God and Caesar.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 22. When they had heard these words , etc.] This answer returned unto them, this advice which was given them, which they could not gainsay or deny to be good, they marvelled : were amazed and astonished, at his prudence and wisdom, in answering them, in such an unexpected and cautious manner: they left him : being silenced, confounded, and disappointed: and went their way : not being able to get any advantage against him, neither to bring him into contempt with the people, and alienate their affections from him; nor to charge him with sedition or treason to the Roman governor; and so had but a very indifferent account of their success, to report to them that sent them.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 15-22 - The Pharisees sent their disciples with the Herodians, a party amon the Jews, who were for full subjection to the Roman emperor. Thoug opposed to each other, they joined against Christ. What they said of Christ was right; whether they knew it or not, blessed be God we know it. Jesus Christ was a faithful Teacher, and a bold reprover. Chris saw their wickedness. Whatever mask the hypocrite puts on, our Lor Jesus sees through it. Christ did not interpose as a judge in matter of this nature, for his kingdom is not of this world, but he enjoin peaceable subjection to the powers that be. His adversaries wer reproved, and his disciples were taught that the Christian religion i no enemy to civil government. Christ is, and will be, the wonder, no only of his friends, but of his enemies. They admire his wisdom, but will not be guided by it; his power, but will not submit to it.
