Clarke's Matthew 22:22 Bible Commentary
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 honor 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.
Barnes's Matthew 22:22 Bible Commentary

It was so wise; it so clearly detected their wickedness and foiled their aim, that they were confounded, and retired covered with shame.
