Barnes's Matthew 22:18 Bible Commentary
Jesus perceived their wickedness - This must have been done by his power of searching the heart, and proves that he was omniscient.
No more man has the power of discerning the motives of others.
Tempt ye me - Try me, or endeavor to lead me into difficulty by an insidious question.
Hypocrites - Dissemblers. Professing to be candid inquirers, when their only object was to lead into difficulty. See the notes at Matthew 6:2.
Wesley's Matthew 22:18 Bible Commentary
22:18 Ye hypocrites - Pretending a scruple of conscience.
