People of the flesh, of the emotions, see the world in the same way as irrational animals do. They can’t understand the wisdom, the power and the goodness of the Creator, which are hidden in His creation. In other words, they see no further than their noses. They don’t know how to worship God ‘in spirit and truth’
So what did he say to Herod? “You’re not allowed to live with her”. He reminded him of the divine law, as if saying to him: “Look and see what the Law orders you to do. If there are two brothers and one of them dies without issue, the widow is not allowed to marry a stranger.
