What does Matthew 22:33 mean?

The picture of Jesus' exchange with the various groups of religious leaders comes into sharper focus with this verse. He is likely still in the temple, in the huge outer courts, where all the religious people of Israel would gather, and debates would frequently take place between various rabbis (Matthew 21:23).

He has been addressing and trading questions with chief priests, elders, Pharisees, Herodians, and now Sadducees. A crowd of people has been witnessing these exchanges, growing more and more impressed with Jesus. Now they are astonished at His brilliant and revealing answers to the Sadducees. Watching Jesus confront these groups of men with so much power over the lives of everyday Israelites may have been quite gratifying for any of those everyday people watching it happen. It was increasingly infuriating and terrifying for the religious leaders themselves.
